Wild's Reprisal is the solo project of Gedden Cascadia. The music is reflective of deeply held ecocentric beliefs and a commitment to deep ecology. The focus of this music project is to inject a level of intellectualism into a genre rife with bands professing a love and connection with the natural world. Yet, how many of these individuals in these bands take this alleged love for the natural world and turn it into action to protect the biotic communities of this planet? As Humanities crushing footstep increases, those of us that love the wild places have a duty to defend those spaces by any means necessary. Actions in defense of the Earth should be rooted in a deeper philosophical understanding of the morality of the intrinsic value of all life. Each song has as its focus a different ecological philosopher. Each song lyrically is just a reading from a specific essay by the author. Unfortunately it is unfeasible to print each essay in its entirety in this booklet. Each essay does appear on the Wild's Reprisal website. Hopefully the songs will help spread the work of such important authors as Aldo Leopold and Arne Naess.

Silent Spring (Rachel Carson)
Silent Spring is dedicated to Rachel Carson. The lyrical content from this song is a reading from her book "Silent Spring". Rachel Carson published this book in 1962. This book is held as being extremely influential in bringing environmental issues to a national stage. The book discusses the impacts pesticides have on song birds and chronicles the dramatic drop in bird populations because of the poisons.
