We’ll eavesdrop on tornados and hurricanes, as well as more obscure weather phenomena like frost quakes, katabatic winds and non-aqueous rain. Explore cricket thermometers and echolocating shrews! Investigate the sound art of Philip Samartzis and Quintron, as we tune into the Wave Farm’s Weather Warlock.

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
