Rebroadcast from Aug. 31, 2019. This late summer broadcast features an evening soundwalk, immersed in the sonic communication of insects, including crickets and katydids. We’ll hear news from the world of plants, and investigate the cave swiftlet in our Echolocator profile. Music by Mamoru Fujieda, Taylor Swift, Anya Rose and the Crickets.

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
