SUBMERGE WORKSHOPS 25th – 28th June 2015 Aquatic and audio adventures across Glasgow
Discover, listen and record intriguing underwater sounds, from bubbling and hissing to low humming and the roaring sounds of a waterfall, using hydrophone technology. This is a unique opportunity to explore Glasgow’s once treasured and now forgotten streams with Cryptic artist Kathy Hinde. You will also scientifically analyse the water with OPAL Community Scientist Joanne Dempster to learn more about Glasgow’s underwater ecology and discover the various life forms found in the most unlikely places.
Your underwater sounds and scientific data will then be used as part of a new interactive sound-map which will premiere in Glasgow as part of the Sonica festival in Autumn 2015.
