Name: Led By Crows by Avifauna
Duration: 1 min 51 s
Description: While walking down by the water, I was led by crows to a battle between a few hummingbirds and a Cooper's Hawk. Followed by ambient sounds from the city as I got lunch after the soundwalk.

ink botanic - soil horizons (unedited extract)

Studied by scientists for decades, the black hole in Messier 87, or M87, gained celebrity status in science after the first release from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) project in 2019. This new sonification does not feature the EHT data, but rather looks at data from other telescopes that observed M87 on much wider scales at roughly the same time. The image in visual form contains three panels that are, from top to bottom, X-rays from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, optical light from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, and radio waves from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array in Chile. The sonification scans across the three-tiered image from left to right, with each wavelength mapped to a different range of audible tones. Radio waves are mapped to lowest tones, optical data to medium tones, and X-rays detected by Chandra to the highest tones. The brightest part of the image corresponds to the loudest portion of the sonification, which is where astronomers find the 6.5 billion solar mass black hole that EHT imaged.

In the time of social distancing, and closed schools and workplaces, people are getting out into nature more and more. To experience nature in a new and perhaps even deeper way, try a soundwalk, for which the goal is learning to listen and understand nature through sound. My soundwalk takes you through six exercises to train your ears and asks you to reflect on your experience as you practise listening. Enjoy!

Soundwalk

I’ve made a little ambient mix of some of my all time favourite peaceful music.

The mix was originally made for a clinical trial for people undergoing something of a reconstructive therapy. It was designed to repeatedly and slowly transition between relaxed reflection, and stimulation of new thoughts, running for a 2 hrs 30 mins session. You’ll probably hear what I mean in the structure.

It also includes some unreleased music of mine which hasn’t been heard before, alongside many of the most beautiful pieces I could find. I hope you enjoy it.
