Production

For the 2007 album, Mirah collaborated with Spectratone International, an ensemble formed by former Black Cat Orchestra founder and cellist Lori Goldston and accordionist Kyle Hanson. The songs are about the lives of insects. The project was inspired by the writing of 19th century entomologist and poet J. Henri Fabre, as well as The Insect Play by Karel Čapek.[1] It was released on K Records.

According to AllMusic, "Share This Place begins with an interesting concept that becomes something richer than might be expected. Paired with Johnson's films and in their own right, [the songs] are intricate and beautifully made, giving a larger scale to the big events in these tiny lives -- birth, death, mating, eating, sacrifice, survival -- while keeping the details that make them fascinating."[1]
