Science and Music Workshop
Jamming with Snapping Shrimp
Ever wondered what the abundant reefs around Tasmania sound like? Emily Sheppard has been recording underwater sounds of the Great Southern Reef for several years. She will bring her hydrophone recordings for us to listen to and learn about the sounds made. Snapping shrimp tend to dominate the soundscape of healthy reef environments.
Listen like a scientist and play your findings
Emily will share recordings of work she has created with underwater reef recordings and violin, providing a taster of what is possible. Then, in small groups, we will improvise sound and music in response to, and with, her reef recordings.
We will chat together about what each group attempted to do, and what the listeners noticed about the sound data and music during the improvisations.
A second workshop will be held on Friday, Nov. 6, leading up to The World’s Smallest Improvised Music Festival Opening Night at 6pm, featuring a performance by Emily. Emily will return to Sawtooth ARI on Saturday, Nov 7 for an artist talk at midday.
