Moth x Human
Ellie Wilson
A unique cross-species collaboration, where sonified moth activity was transformed into sound to spotlight the UK's declining biodiversity.
Violinist and composer Ellie Wilson highlighted the UK’s biodiversity decline in a multi-instrumental piece that harnessed data from moths to make immersive sound.
Moth x Human is a thought-provoking composition that highlighted declining UK biodiversity. Moth activity data is sonified into emotive, immersive soundscapes, alongside acoustic instruments, field recordings, and electronics.
Sonified moth activity data combined with acoustic instruments and electronics in an immersive work highlighting biodiversity decline that was written by violinist-composer Ellie Wilson.
Genre: Sound art, electro acoustic, environmental music
