Listening Underwater
Horizon Festival, 2018 (Mooloolaba, Australia, 24-Aug-2018 - 02-Sep-2018)
2018
Abstract
Immerse yourself in a world of sound - discover more than 100 aquatic soundscapes across the Sunshine Coast.
During this immersive performance, you will enter a geodesic dome on the beach and be submersed in a sensory display of surround sound hydrophone (underwater) recordings. Aquatic images will be projected onto the walls of the dome, alongside narration of Gubbi Gubbi river and ocean stories.
The work explores the scientific possibilities of aquatic eco-acoustics with recordings including snapping shrimp, aquatic insects, fish, turtles and dolphins that can all be indicators of ecosystem health. The hydrophone material is mixed with live streams and sculpted into immersive sonic environments using innovative spatial audio technologies and live processing.
