And When the Sea Came back is a radiophonic play created by Burrow - a collaborative project between Polly Stanton and Anja Kanngieser. This work was commissioned by Radio National's Soundproof program, and aired in December 2016.

And Then The Sea Came Back

Emergent Fields is a sound work that explores the production of wind energy as a provocation for action, solidarity and the politics of production. Created during a residency at the Hepburn Wind Farm – the first community owned wind farm in Australia – the project engages listening strategies, performative intervention and acoustic documentation to activate new perspectives on the creation of renewable energies. By considering the affective bodies of the turbines, the work presents a sensory reading of the farm as a means to reveal the complex and multilayered transformation of materials, durations and gestures. 

During a week spent at the site, artists Byron Dean and Polly Stanton listened at the base of the wind turbines, wandering through surrounding fields and nearby forest to document resonant materials,  electrical fields and the movement of air generated by the power station. By seeking to translate these unseen ambiences of the natural and built environment, Emergent Fields highlights the acoustic multiplicities of site and explores cooperative relationships between human and more-than-human worlds.
