Polar Sounds

Polar Sounds. Unknown. (Mar 30, 2023)

Produced by Elizabeth LoGiudice.

This broadcast of Echolocation features an initiative called Polar Sounds, which is described as “a unique project re-imagining some of the little-heard sounds of the Arctic and Antarctic regions, reflecting on climate change and the evolving sounds of the polar seascapes.” The show includes an interview with the leaders of Polar Sounds, Stuart Fowkes from Cities and Memory, and Geraint Rhys Whittaker from the Helmholtz Institute for Functional Marine Biodiversity and the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research at the University of Oldenburg. The show also includes music from the Polar Sounds album by artists: Anna Vienna Ho, Hwayoung Shon, Stuart Fowkes, Geraint Rhys, Mr. Sakitumi and Hossam Hilal.

Echolocation explores aspects of environmental art, especially the use of bioacoustics in sound art and musical composition. The show dwells at the junction between art, science and natural sound, and features works by artists working in the fields of soundscape studies, deep listening and acoustic ecology. Featured composers include R. Murray Schaffer, Doug Quin, Lisa Walker, Hildegard Westerkamp, Pauline Oliveros, and others. Each quarterly program includes news and updates from fields related to scientific and artistic studies of environmental sound. Submissions of locally recorded and produced pieces are encouraged. https://www.facebook.com/EcholocationWGXC
