On this Summer 2024 broadcast, we're getting back to basics and honoring one of the world's most essential echolocators - bats! We'll share some of the information that bioacoustic researchers are finding about bats, and listen to music that incorporates bat sounds, or is inspired by the world's only flying mammal. Music by Stuart Hyatt, Christina Vantzou, Felicia Atkinson, Mary Lattimore, Mariolina Zitta, Harald Lie, ACTORS, Tenderlash, and The Joy Formidable.

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
