Deep Listening to Nature with Andrew Skeoch

An insightful evening with acoustic ecologist Andrew Skeoch, presented by Corowa Library with support from Corowa District Landcare.

How can we engage our hearing to connect more deeply to nature around us?

Acoustic ecologist, Andrew Skeoch, will guide you into hearing the languages of nature; developing your auditory awareness, identifying species by ear, recognising behaviours and repertoire, and finding empathy with the voices of other beings. Deeper listening allows us to hear the integrity of entire ecosystems, the influence of evolution and earth time, and reveal what the communications of the biosphere tell us about how nature functions to achieve sustainability.

Andrew’s presentations are an immersive weaving of evocative recordings, fascinating spectrogram analysis and original ideas. You’ll hear the environment around you in a whole new way.

Light refreshments included.
