Listening With... The Blackwater Estuary (Excerpt)

Details

'Listening with…’ is a series of sound works that deeply listen to non-human life, as an act of embracing and raising voice, and an attempt to relocate our ears beyond our human perspective and into the multi-specied dimension. All the pieces consider water bodies that are in some way threatened or polluted by urban expansion and infrastructure. Rivers, tributaries and estuaries have a particular pull for us, leading us to the hinterlands of the city and towards a wide oceanic openness.
