Poet Genevieve Carver and Highland composer Lucie Treacher perform a new collaboration fusing music, spoken word and ecological science. Written during a residency with the Lighthouse Field Station in Cromarty (University of Aberdeen), Hydrophonica responds to fieldwork studying dolphin and porpoise populations in the Moray Firth. Through playful experiments with language, the poems give voice to the non-human in surprising and original ways and blend spoken word and live music with underwater field recordings of bottlenose dolphins.
We invite you to swim into a world of clicks and whistles, as Genevieve’s reading is accompanied by Lucie’s original wildlife-inspired soundscapes.
