Embrace the quiet of the natural soundscape during this darkest part of the year. Go beyond listening to explore animals that communicate through silent waves of vibrations. Experience this vibrational communication and explore the world of spiders who feel for movement in their webs to locate prey and find mates. Music by Spiders, Spiders, and the Spiders.

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
