Produced by Elizabeth LoGiudice.

On this broadcast, we listen to the work of musicians and sound artists who meld their musicality with devotion to the natural world. The show features works on cello, piano, electronics and percussion by Julia Kent, Liam Singer, Jon Hopkins, and two Wave Farm 2023 artists-in-residence, Susie Ibarra and Lisa Schonberg. All the pieces include field recordings or are inspired by natural muses, including ants, treehoppers, melting glaciers, trees, caves, rivers and the ocean.

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
