The Screwpile Jetty (built in 1881) is located at the south-western corner of Nulcoowarra, just a short walk from the island's kiosk. 

This recording is made at one of the jetty's landings, just above the surface of the water, where lower level gratings allow points for launching. Two Aquarian hydrophones were deployed on either side of the landing at about a depth of two metres. The turbulence from the choppy conditions can be heard in the unstable currents that course, slosh and churn around the landing. Above this activity, snapping shrimp crackle throughout.

Tristan Louth-Robins is a South Australian artist working principally in the medium of sound art and field recording. Ideas of sound and its signification are key elements in Louth-Robins' practice, traversing the space between the visual and aural his work is realised through the mediums of recordings, installation, visual art and performance. He is interested in sound and its associative implications - including its relationship to objects, technology, urban space, memory and the natural world. 


Since 2005, Louth-Robins has presented work in Australia and internationally as a solo artist, whilst also collaborating with artists, writers, researchers, musicians and performers. 

Working across a vast array of activities encompassing composition, sound design, installation art, field recording and workshops, his work has been featured in events such as the Adelaide Festival of Arts (2006), The National Regional Arts Festival (2012), Mildura-Wentworth Arts Festival (2013), Fairfax Festival (2013) and Adelaide Fringe Festival (2014); and selected works exhibited at galleries including The Australian Experimental Art Foundation (2009), SASA Gallery (2012, 2015), Light Square Gallery (2012) and FELT Space (2015).
