Echolocation

The show that eavesdrops on Mother Nature

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. Echolocation aired on WGXC from 2016-2024 and is available as a podcast.

An exploration of the mysterious sense of magneto-reception, the ability of birds, fish and other wild animals to navigate using the Earth’s magnetic fields.

The piece profiles spiders as supreme vibrational communicators who use their webs to sense and interact with the world around them.

A profile of trickster insects with ears all over their bodies that avoid being eaten by bats through jamming echolocation signals.
