The Physicist and the Selkie

Tara Downs of Miniature Museum / Radio Droogdok worked with Weddell Seal recording to create her sound piece ‘The Physicist and The selkie’ as one of the artists selected by for the Polar Sounds project to reimagine hydrophone recordings made from the polar seas.
Polar Sounds is a unique project reimagining some of the little-heard sounds of the Arctic and Antarctic regions, reflecting on climate change and the evolving sounds of the polar seascapes.

It’s a collaboration between Cities and Memory, the @HIFMB_OL and the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI).

Hydrophone recordings were given to selected artists to reimagine into their own sound pieces.
