Echolocation: Fledgling Spring? Part II (Audio)

Mar 31, 2018
Produced by Elizabeth LoGiudice.

The calendar may say that Spring’s a’comin’, but many of us in the Northeast feel like a cricket stuck in a snowbank. So tune in to Echolocation as we search for sounds of sping, and listen for any indication that life will soon be returning to this frigid land. And, we might just take a little listen under the sea - just as a bit of a get away – to feature the Narwahl on the Echolocator Profile. We’ll hear sounds from Lisa Walker, Laurie Anderson and Mamoru Fujieda.

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
