Friday, 5 April 2024 (Performances at 11am, 2pm and 7pm). ︎ Free admission. Book your free ticket here. 🦇 Bat animation: Mariana Sanín Ángel From dawn to dusk Inside the changing soundscapes of a Colombian rainforest How can listening to the sounds of nature be a way of sharing and developing understandings of biodiversity and climate change? Our immersive 7-channel audio installation is the outcome of a partnership between Cucusonic, a collective of Colombian biological scientists and anthropologists, the University of Manchester’s Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology, the charity In Place of War, Studio Mécanique (a music production facility in Switzerland), and the International Relations and Music Association (IRMA).&nbsp; This network was formed so as to record a bank of natural and bioacoustic sound recordings from the Neotropical forests of Colombia and to combine these with climate change data from a small farm as part of an immersive audio composition. We will present the composition along with a short film about the project and discuss the idea behind the work, that the sounds of habitats and species such as birds, bats and frogs can be heard in different ways: as a measure of biodiversity, as a feature of the cultural imagination of local communities, as a creative resource for musicians to compose with and as a means of connecting to climate data. This event is part of PeopleFest, held during the Annual General Meeting of the Association of Social Anthropologists of the UK (ASA). Free admission.

The team set up a network of diverse local communities to capture sounds and stories from the Colombian Neotropical forests, inviting high profile artists and producers to create tracks from these field recordings. The aim of the project, and the resulting album, is to raise awareness about the biodiversity of Colombia, and its importance globally – by translating natural soundscape recordings and bio-acoustic data into new music. The album features music by Bræv, Brian Eno, Coldcut, Fer Isella, Fingathing, Iggor Cavalera, Kate Simko, Laima Leyton, Martyn Ware, Matthew Dear, Mexican Institute of Sound, and Osunlade.VF Product page: https://thevinylfactory.com/product/cucusonic/ VF Featured Article: https://thevinylfactory.com/label-news/new-cucusonic-album-discovers-sounds-of-colombias-neotropical-forests/ YouTube video of the first single: https://youtu.be/v8t_w3cGxZk Spotify link (first single): http://spoti.fi/3lOGCHe Inner sleeves for the Cucusonic vinyl were designed by Paul Pensom: <img width="3789" height="3789" width_o="3789" height_o="3789" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/be4b47ae91c0e503fe10b687ee0bb6b2d6d368e0ee0d8fc749da87afe5ba5e87/1_Cucusonic_1.jpg" data-mid="207238132" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/be4b47ae91c0e503fe10b687ee0bb6b2d6d368e0ee0d8fc749da87afe5ba5e87/1_Cucusonic_1.jpg" /> <img width="3789" height="3789" width_o="3789" height_o="3789" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a960936d1ead92aa345a3daf551a4a80fe905b7f79abdcc222d100df8458f157/1_Cucusonic_2.jpg" data-mid="207238134" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a960936d1ead92aa345a3daf551a4a80fe905b7f79abdcc222d100df8458f157/1_Cucusonic_2.jpg" /> <img width="3789" height="3789" width_o="3789" height_o="3789" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3cf1434d38016b98cbc5c904d88508a9db48df467b4c32b97f00330c63fe3198/2_Cucusonic.jpg" data-mid="207238271" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3cf1434d38016b98cbc5c904d88508a9db48df467b4c32b97f00330c63fe3198/2_Cucusonic.jpg" /> <img width="3726" height="3726" width_o="3726" height_o="3726" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ac9903c8f8a47e33519ca61a8b18a0165c7cdeb6ffec313ddfd133fb52127878/3_Cucusonic.jpg" data-mid="207238138" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ac9903c8f8a47e33519ca61a8b18a0165c7cdeb6ffec313ddfd133fb52127878/3_Cucusonic.jpg" /> <img width="3726" height="3726" width_o="3726" height_o="3726" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fed5f32cdfa9cca151ed5a65666a6e02fa6f420844db93d50c18d00b525354e9/4_Cucusonic.jpg" data-mid="207238142" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fed5f32cdfa9cca151ed5a65666a6e02fa6f420844db93d50c18d00b525354e9/4_Cucusonic.jpg" /> <img width="3726" height="3726" width_o="3726" height_o="3726" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a23cc26366ebe9d99873cd529f014731391ce195e6ee2c5ddd759ec49a1666e7/5_Cucusonic.jpg" data-mid="207238145" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a23cc26366ebe9d99873cd529f014731391ce195e6ee2c5ddd759ec49a1666e7/5_Cucusonic.jpg" /> <img width="3726" height="3726" width_o="3726" height_o="3726" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/56a621d6fec4e7656750db964865294bab28c0b0cf962c83bd8a1f7f96e6150c/6_Cucusonic.jpg" data-mid="207238149" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/56a621d6fec4e7656750db964865294bab28c0b0cf962c83bd8a1f7f96e6150c/6_Cucusonic.jpg" /> https://cucusonic.net/Frogs-and-bats Fri, 21 Aug 2020 21:01:21 +0000 cucusonic https://cucusonic.net/Frogs-and-bats Frogs and bats(music composition by Carlos Restrepo) Species included in this track:&nbsp; Leptodactylus savageiEngystomops pustulosusSaccopteryx leptura Saccopteryx canescensRhynchonycteris naso <img width="3072" height="2304" width_o="3072" height_o="2304" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6fa7f4dbf947feaf640f5e64af14136bb2ef354bb9a3e5137a5a1ff4efd099c6/Leptodactylus_savagei.JPG" data-mid="80525869" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6fa7f4dbf947feaf640f5e64af14136bb2ef354bb9a3e5137a5a1ff4efd099c6/Leptodactylus_savagei.JPG" /> <img width="2480" height="2794" width_o="2480" height_o="2794" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/54ffa4a2286bb2b4872311805c31d83afbe8c64c887b0c7f8db1ee0294f8b93a/zurc-s_3_Rhynchonycteris_naso_Photo_by_Laura_M_Vargas.JPG" data-mid="80527126" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/54ffa4a2286bb2b4872311805c31d83afbe8c64c887b0c7f8db1ee0294f8b93a/zurc-s_3_Rhynchonycteris_naso_Photo_by_Laura_M_Vargas.JPG" /> <img width="2048" height="1536" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5e9a99cc69eaff5bc72cb4c2bee991192e40b83e7b87618745216eaf5d895d4b/Engystomops_pustulosus.JPG" data-mid="80525927" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5e9a99cc69eaff5bc72cb4c2bee991192e40b83e7b87618745216eaf5d895d4b/Engystomops_pustulosus.JPG" /> https://cucusonic.net/Bats Sun, 13 Sep 2020 21:35:42 +0000 cucusonic https://cucusonic.net/Bats Bats(music composition by Carlos Restrepo text by Alejandro Valencia-Tobon) Bat sound signals appear to be divided into three phases: search, approach and terminal phase (this latter one also called ‘feeding buzz’). These phases are indications of the bat’s activity: in the search phase, bats seek food and, while doing this, each individual is analysing what is happening in its habitat. Encountering possible prey, bats go towards it, emitting pulses in shorter time intervals (approach phase). Finally, during the feeding buzz, bats are so close to their possible prey that pulses are emitted in very short time interval in order to obtain faster information about what is happening and thus have a successful hunt. This process is repeated over and over again.This particular track includes ultrasonic recordings of search and approach phases of (see graph): Species 01 (search and approach phases), Species 02 (search and approach phases), Species 04 (search phase) and Species 12 (search phase) <img width="4000" height="1413" width_o="4000" height_o="1413" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a19be1bd5096f43aaceba9b21318f7ae4d69437ab5e1b8afb2eb7fe72ede159b/Track_2_bats.jpg" data-mid="82591760" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a19be1bd5096f43aaceba9b21318f7ae4d69437ab5e1b8afb2eb7fe72ede159b/Track_2_bats.jpg" />
