An invitation to wander and explore four of the world’s most fascinating and remote environments: The Arctic, Amazon, Australian Outback and Deserts in a new multi-roomed composition created by Cork based-composer, Karen Power. Featuring a mixed media durational performance with musicians, Quiet Music Ensemble; vocalists, Ute Wassermann and Michelle O’Rourke; and Ireland’s first ever Sound Choir, with imagery by John Godfrey.
Using specialised field recordings from some of the world’s most in-human environments, this performance explores the possibilities of how through hearing natural sound structures and harmonies we can potentially rediscover the evolutionary parallels between humans, nature and animals.
