Entangled Harmonies: Exploring the ecologies around us through biosonification and environmental music-making

In this workshop, interdisciplinary artist and musician Willow Gatewood will guide participants in biosonification --the basics of recording biodata from plants and turning it into music.  Explore how art and technology act as a portal to connecting with the ecosystems in which we entangle. * Participants are asked to bring a laptop or phone (and adapter for a USB if needed) if they have one. Spares are available but limited.  In the fields of Willow Wisp Organic Farm, participants will make field recordings with objects and plants to create instruments and music. Participants will leave with a song and guide for further exploration.  Willow Gatewood is an environmental scientist, interdisciplinary artist, and musician from endless hills and secluded forests of rural Virginia. Grounded in research, their practice includes recycled and bio-based visual art, words, sound, and biosonification (turning processes within living organisms into music and sound).
