Aram Saroyan – Crickets
Two recordings:

Exhibit B
1975 American sound poetry recording, 10+2.
Released December 21, 2004 on CD
Available via Naxos (if your library subscribes)
Exhibit C
The score:
The 1975 version is rendered by one voice only… the 2018 version is more participatory and makes suggestive use of a recording of actual crickets to conclude. The score is wide open.
