-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. +you can also [[https://neon.fo.am/s/post_glacial_rebound_192|listen online]] or [[https://neon.fo.am/s/post_glacial_rebound_192|download soundtrack]] as smaller file (82.5 MB)

-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. +

 The soundscape is composed with FoAM's field recordings made on Seili during the spring of 2019 and sonification of data collected at The Archipelago Research Institute over several decades. The time series used in the sound walk include oceanographic data (such as temperature, salinity,  presence of chlorophyl, and oxygen levels) of the sea surrounding the island. The soundscape is composed with FoAM's field recordings made on Seili during the spring of 2019 and sonification of data collected at The Archipelago Research Institute over several decades.
