The low-laying fells leading to the coast of Cumbria hold a unique setting for both wildlife and soundscapes.
The Ravenglass estuary is an acoustically diverse and transformative area, equally remote yet accessible to all, and holding potential for a majestic array of sounds- twenty-four hours a day. Largely sheltered from the Irish Sea by sand dunes, and with the three rivers of Esk, Irt, and Mite meeting; enabling wildlife, both migratory and land-locked, equal room for manoeuvre. RL Wilson lives and works in West Cumbria, and is a multidisciplinary artist working with and combining moving image, sound, performance, and the written word. Wilson hosts the platform RE Drift; enabling artists, researchers, and ecologists time and space to make and discuss. http://redrift.net/ Full of Noises are an arts organisation in Barrow in Furness platforming experimental sound and music. |
