Slow walk listening and the sonic art of breath / deep listening® text scores of Pauline Oliveros with Anne Bourne Take the ferry to Hanlan’s Point from Jack Layton Ferry Terminal. Make your way to Gibraltar Point Lighthouse After extreme slow walk together towards the south shore, self guided listening, and the collective exploration of

Listening to Bees

This binaural recording of bees was captured in May 2021 at Fairlight Country Park, Sussex, using ear mics from Falmouth University. The accompanying geocache and site artworks were created collaboratively with volunteers who researched the park’s history.

Lune Rising

The year is 2060. Sea levels have surged. Lancaster city, in the north of England, is reduced to Castle Island. A voice, the sole remaining inhabitant, guides you around this un/familiar coastline, wanting you to adapt to these new lands.

Listening and Recording In the second step we head outside again and take the same route we took a week before, however this time, make an audio/video recording of your entire journey with a smart phone or digital recorder. You can ‘set and forget’ the recording device, or use it creatively to frame your journey

Listening Underwater at Horizon Festival 2018 features over 100 GPS-triggered aquatic soundscapes from global locations including the Great Barrier Reef and K’Gari, revealing underwater acoustic ecologies affected by environmental change. The evolving audio experience highlights subtle aquatic ecosystem shifts through hydrophone recordings and is accessible anytime during the festival with headphones.

Immerse yourself in a world of sound and discover more than 100 aquatic soundscapes across the Sunshine Coast for Horizon Festival 2018.

Listening Underwater uses GPS points to trigger audio based on location and movement and can be experienced anytime during the festival. New sounds will be added everyday and the sounds will evolve and adapt daily during the event, every sound walk will be a different experience.

Listening Underwater reveals the acoustic ecologies beneath the surface of oceans, lakes and rivers across the planet. Looking at the surface of a river or marine ecosystem, it is virtually impossible to detect environmental changes. The impacts of climate change are often visible in terrestrial environments, yet dramatic changes in aquatic ecosystems can go unnoticed simply due to visibility. Listening to hydrophones (underwater microphones) provides access to a non-invasive way of understanding changing aquatic ecosystems.

The featured locations include coastal mangroves in Mexico, frozen rivers in Norway, the iconic Great Barrier Reef and the coastline of Queensland including K’Gari (Fraser Island), a major transitory point for humpback whales on their southern migration.

Listening Underwater is best experienced with headphones.

This project has been supported by the Regional Arts Development Fund, a partnership between the Queensland Government and Sunshine Coast Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.

GPS drawing

Drawing practices using GPS devices. Previously a planned route is studied. Although the drawing is done in the physical space, the creation must be seen through the applications that show those records. Also called GPS Art.
