Mardle: Daily Rhythms of a Pond

Sound artist Action Pyramid (Tom Fisher) and acoustic ecologist Jack Greenhalgh discuss the collaborative creation of the album Mardle: Daily Rhythms of a Pond, a compelling and confounding suite of hydrophone compositions revealing the sonic 24-hour cycle of the UK’s freshwater ponds. The talk will expand on the scientific research, methodologies and the interdisciplinary nature of the project, as well as the compositional approach, sonic treatments and other creative considerations of the final sound pieces.
