-A soundscape and a soundwalk that encourage intimate connections with the island. An invitation to attune to the vibrations of Seili's landscapes and inhabitants, to notice subtle resonances and disturbances emerging, then subsiding. Ecological transformations hovering on the edge of perception. Tiny fluctuations in the melody or pitch of birdsong. The many sounds of flight. The signalling of plants and plankton. The quieting after sunset, never becoming completely still, with the hum of human activity always present as background radiation. Abstract data and time-series collected by scientists over decades echo in sonic sensations at a human scale, beckoning rather than elucidating. 
-  
-Whispering tales of an island that appears serene yet harbours hidden disturbances, spectral hostilities. Plagues of ticks and microplastics overlaid with psychic memories of the oppressed and abandoned. A haunted island covered by soft green mosses, lapped by gentle brackish waves. Whether invaded by crabs, humans or ticks, the island continues its slow and steady rise above the shallow waters, unperturbed. The biological time of generations intersects with the slow time of tectonic forces. Fluttering, struggling, change, fragility and adaptation in a micro-zone of intensity, amid its post glacial rebound.
