Coming up on Earth Day (April 22) many campus and community radio stations around the world participate in The Wetland Project, a 24 hour broadcast of the soundscape from ṮEḴTEḴSEN or Saturna Island, British Columbia. Back in November 2024, Making Waves host Darren Copeland spoke to project organizers Mark Timmings and Brady Marks.  On today’s episode we will feature that conversation and end the show by lining up the local time of this broadcast with the recording from 2015 that will play on Earth Day. The soundscape recording featured in The Wetland Project was produced with the assistance of Eric Lamontagne. 

This monthly one hour program about radio art and sound art is produced by New Adventures in Sound Art's Artistic Director Darren Copeland in South River, Ontario, Canada. The show features Canadian, US, and international artists creating sound-based media art. It focuses on the techniques, processes, and motivations of the artists it features as well as individuals supporting the field through dissemination and curatorial activities. The show is a snapshot of what is happening in sound-based media art in the here and now from a northern perspective.
