THE SINGING PLANET

A Natural History of Song With EDWARD COWIE

Imagine getting into a Time Machine and travelling back almost 2 billion years on this planet! An earth that had no sounds produced by something alive suddenly has some…what made those sounds and what wondrous songs evolved from them? World famous composer, visual artist, natural scientist and true polymath, Edward Cowie, will take you on a magical journey in sound and vision that unfolds a once nearly silent planet into a singing planet. From Voices in the Sea, to voices on the Land and in the Air, Edward is going to entertain you with fabulous and often amazing descriptions of how singing became a huge part of the atmosphere on earth and how the gradual colonisation of silence by creatures in the sea; on the land and in the air gave birth to something that is a great and wondrous part of human communication. Cowie is a renowned teacher and entertainer so come prepared for an entirely new way of experiencing and appreciating creation in action!
