- <p>This practice-based PhD investigates the intersection of place-based listening, ecoacoustic practice, and ecological sound art as a means of fostering ecological engagement and activism. The research develops what is described as an <em>enmeshed ecoacoustic practice</em>, integrating long-term field recording, situated listening, and compositional strategies to engage with complex environmental systems through sound.</p> <p>The portfolio consists of seven ecological soundwalks and two concert works, to accompany the written thesis. The soundwalks function as the primary artistic output, offering participatory, place-based experiences that foreground listening as a mode of ecological connection.</p> <p>The project centres on three primary study sites across Ireland: the Vale of Clara, a native temperate rainforest and Special Area of Conservation; Glas-na-Bradan Wood, a developing native woodland shaped by public afforestation; and the Botanic Gardens, Belfast, an urban green space with layered ecological and cultural histories. These sites are complemented by additional projects from locations including the Irish Museum of Modern Art, the River Dodder, and Barnaslingan Wood. Together, they reflect a spectrum of ecological conditions and human–nonhuman relationships.</p> <p>The accompanying field recording repository underpin these works, documenting seasonal, temporal, and spatial variations across sites, and serving both as creative material and as an ecological archive.</p> <p>Recordings include ambisonic dawn chorus documentation collected over extended periods, as well as long-duration nocturnal migration recordings captured using AudioMoth devices. As such, the repository provides a resource for both artistic and scientific inquiry, supporting further exploration of ecoacoustic methods and environmental sound analysis.</p> <div> <p>This collection reflects an interdisciplinary approach at the intersection of art, science, and environmental awareness, and contributes to ongoing discourse around sound, ecology, and the role of creative practice in responding to the ecological crisis.</p> <p> </p> </div> <p><strong>Nocturnal Migration Recordings (mono format)</strong></p> <p><strong><u>SARC, Queen’s University Belfast</u></strong></p> <p>(i) 2023-09-11 to 2023-09-28 AudioMoth SARC Rooftop</p>
