On this broadcast of Echolocation, we’ll listen to music and sound inspired by echolocation. Selections include the 2020 album and video dance piece EchoLocation by Jasmine Hearn & slowdanger; compositions from the 2017 album Echolocation – River by Andrew Bird; and music from the 2018 album Echolocation from musician Echlo. The show features songs by the band Echolocation and an excerpt from Out of Range, a sound art piece inspired by ultrasound and echolocation, by artist Jana Winderen.

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
