On Sonorous Seas

by Fergus Hall

about

This album is released as part of On Sonorous Seas and is available here -
onsonorousseas.bandcamp.com/album/on-sonorous-seas

This story begins with a whale carcass which came ashore in August 2018 at Traigh an t-Suidhe/Strand of the Seat, at the North end of the Isle of Iona. It is a story told with the voices of science, art, music and poetry, and it explores the impact of military sonar on the ecology of the seas surrounding the Hebrides.

Led by visual artist Mhairi Killin with composer Fergus Hall - in collaboration with artist Tom deMajo of Biome Collective, poet Miek Zwamborn, calligrapher Susie Leiper and in partnership with the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust - On Sonorous Seas gives voice to what is not apparent beneath the beauty of the Hebridean waters.
