Scrying the Landscape III w. Elina Tapio & Hannah Pezzack
Flowing, seeping, leaking, cascading, shaping, 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘥. Displaced from terrestrial-based ways of knowing, Elina Tapio, together with Hannah Pezzack, plunges into oceanic depths. Immersed in this alien milieu, the weight and opacity of water transmogrify perception. To the human ear, noises appear muffled, foggy. But sound waves actually travel five times faster underwater than in air. Far from being a silent abyss, waterways are cacophonous: an orchestra of barnacles, sonorous wails and echoes.
The third instalment of 'Scrying the Landscape' features Markus J. Buehler and Jenna Sutela's (𝘞𝘦𝘵-𝘰𝘯-𝘞𝘦𝘵 (2021), a sonic toolkit amplifying the emotive molecules of liquids. For 𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘐𝘤𝘦 (2020) Hannah Rowan utilised a hydrophone to capture ancient air bubbles – pockets of planetary deep time – escaping from melting icebergs. And synthesist Stan Litjens' 𝘙𝘦𝘸𝘢𝘵 (2021) is an ambient interlude composed of field recordings; the lull of rocking boats and seabirds.
