WALK I: time to listen, connect and observe through the practice of acoustic ecology, the sounds of life that permeate through wood, wind, soil and water. Through the act of listening and attuning to the discreet and heard sounds of the biodiverse landscape of Portumna we will open a dialogue about our connection to nature. At a designated sensing station on the trail we will also listen closer to the hidden natural world around us captured through hydrophones, geophones and contact microphones.During this communal walk we will collectively map our observations, capturing a shared ecological moment in time of this ever evolving landscape through the practice of sonic cartography.What is our role in preserving it?Kindly supported by the Arts Council of Ireland and Creative Ireland (Galway County).Image Credit: Soft Day Media (Sensing Place, Shorelines Arts Festival 2021) Additional Information:This is an all weather event.
