A track made using two handcrafted instruments, The Ekharp and The Grotta. I have recently been reading a lot about the 52 Hertz Whale, it is the only whale that calls at 52 hertz, making it the loneliest whale in the ocean. Some believe the whale is still alive, however, she has never been seen.

A Joke About 52 Hertz

A recording that went wrong. For an unknown reason, the original sounds have been changed. It inspired a piece of digital art.

Alien Life - Forms

A looped piece, played in the dark. I couldn't see anything.

The Serene Sound Of Darkness

Two soundscapes for the exhibition 'The Lonely Whale' a collaboration between two artists at Falmouth University. 

It tackles themes of loneliness and isolation. 
Many of us experienced these feelings in last years COVID-19 lockdown. Lives were lost, families broken, friendships torn apart. 

The 52 Hertz Whale is the loneliest mammal in the ocean. It calls on a different frequency, one of which is unheard by other whales of its species. It's lived a lonesome life, many believing it is still out there.
