Interspecies Listening - live stream from Newton Park Campus

Dr Ian Thornhill (Reader in Ecology and Conservation)

Professor Amanda Bayley (Professor of Music)

Research Fellow Kathy Hinde (audiovisual artist)

The transdisciplinary project, ‘Interspecies listening’ combines new techniques in bioacoustic monitoring with listening practices associated with acoustic ecology, sound art and ecomusicology. At Newton Park campus, hydrophones will be used to listen to and monitor underwater species, including the European protected species, the Great Crested Newt. For Climate Campus, the interdisciplinary research team will share a live, deep listening experience from underwater microphones. These listening experiences will be interspersed with an introduction to their collaborative research into bioacoustics, biodiversity monitoring, ecomusicology, and practices of listening for developing ecoliteracy.
