Lightship 55 at Bathurst Basin, Bristol, UK

A hydrophone is hanging from a old wooden vessel and broadcasting from a lively basin in the city centre of Bristol. 
The listening station is hosted on the permanently moored John Sebastian Lightship, a 141 year old wooden light vessel.   A suspended hydrophone drifts below the hull, continuously transmitting the underwater soundscape of the basin in real time. A living archive of the basin's sonic and material life is revealed, from the rhythms of the harbour, the drones of the boats, to sediment flows inside the water, the song of freshwater invertebrae, and the impacts of rain and weather stroking the microphone.   
  What knowledges emerge when we listen to our rivers and waters in real time?   How does it feel to become ecological witnesses to our rapidly shifting waterscapes?   
  Installed by artists Lia Mazzari and Kathy Hinde, the broadcast is hosted via the Locus Sonus Soundmap server,  extending the basin’s submerged acoustics outward, connecting local waters to a distributed network of listeners across the globe.
