The Arctic Circle 2024 Alumni Expedition

This research aims to investigate and document the unique acoustic landscapes of the Arctic Circle through immersive field recording. The project will involve the deployment of state-of-the-art recording equipment such as hydrophones (underwater recording), vibration sensors, electro-magnetic sensors, and stereo microphones to capture the subtle nuances and powerful resonances of Arctic sounds. The Arctic Circle, known for its vast icy expanses and diverse ecosystems, provides a rich tapestry of natural sounds that are rarely experienced or understood. The goal is to create a comprehensive sonic archive that reflects the region's ecological diversity and the impact of climate change on its acoustic identity.
