Produced by Elizabeth LoGiudice.

Explore the surprising aural aspect of three celestial events that happened during the spring of 2024 — the vernal equinox, total solar eclipse, and aurora borealis. Featuring music and sound art by Matthew Shaw, Corey Mwamba, The Science of Sound, Wayne Grim and the Kronos Quartet, The Knife, and Aurora Borealis.

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
