Gwaith Sŵn's Sonic Darts

[Repeated from Monday 10pm.] Sound-art and transmission-art delivered by London sound art collective Gwaith Sŵn. This month: Sonic Darts returns with a show by artist Víctor Mazón Gardoqui. This broadcast is the first chapter in a project to document the Earth's windscapes. Using a network of microphones and acoustic sensors, we are creating an audio record of remote environments, starting here in Antarctica and traveling toward the North Pole. Our precise starting location is: Doumer Island, South Bay, Antarctica Latitude: 64∘52′55′′S. Longitude: 63∘35′03′′W.
Our journey begins with a long-duration night recording from the Yelcho Research Base, a Chilean scientific station. This location is of significant ecological interest, situated in a rare transition zone that offers close access to both rich marine ecosystems and the sparse terrestrial vegetation of the Antarctic Peninsula. First established in 1962, the station was inactive for sixteen years before being reactivated in 2015 to support new lines of scientific inquiry.
