How to Be a Forest with Dr Henry McPherson
LOCATION: Living Worlds
TIME: 11:00
Dr Henry McPherson performs 'How to be a forest' (2024) - an experimental soundscape piece exploring themes of woodland ecosystems. Using field recordings, DIY soundboards, and a custom-built looping software, the performer imagines themselves as different aspects of the woodland ecosystem - canopy, rhizosphere, understory - improvising textures of bark, leaves, sap, and soil.
