The 73-year-old composer Meredith Monk carefully plucked her 3-toed box turtle, Neutron, from her tank, held her in the air and pressed their faces together in what she calls a “nose kiss.” Neutron isn’t just Meredith’s pet; she’s a source of inspiration. She’s also one among many of the reptilian participants in a substantial, and neglected, history of turtles in experimental music. When you consider that these works are often deeply interested in the idea of slowness, the turtle — an animal that has hardly evolved over more than 200 million years of existence, and one that moves at a glacial speed — makes a logical muse. “I love her pace,” Meredith said of her roommate, with whom she has resided for the past 38 years. “New York is so fast, and everything is slow with her, so it just reminds you to slow down a little bit. I like the reminder of a more ancient time — or a timelessness.” @kristaschlueter photographed Meredith and her longtime companion, Neutron, in the composer’s TriBeCa loft.
