Sounds We Cannot Hear is the theme on this edition of "Echolocation" from Elizabeth LoGiudice. Explore musical performances inspired by plagues and take a trip down the rabbit hole to discover spider web compositions. We’ll shrink down to the microscopic to listen in on the vibrational frequencies of COVID-19, and expand into the stars to hear the oscillations of a comet in the plasma of space. Music by Markus J. Buehler, J.S. Bach, Yo Yo Ma, Bjork, the European Space Agency, and The Cure. Image by Pete Linforth from Pixabay. "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
