Rituals have acted, historically, as early technological interfaces scoring human / nature relationships, in very particular ways.  

​

The sonic ritual is a work that attempts to develop a new multi-species ritual, drawn from workshops with DAS Belfast XR group, thinking through alternative ways in ‘sensing’ the lough, that combine with conversations held with local druids, herbalists, and permaculture experts.  

The work considers how human voice/s in a polyphonic approach might sit within this delicate ensemble, to reflect the new calibration we are hoping to bring about, with John D’Arcy (Sonic Arts) and HIVE Choir. 

​

Sonic Ritual workshops: 31st May, and September, at PS3 gallery, developed with John D’Arcy and HIVE Choir with Ami Clarke, and Friends of the Earth and colleagues, and Digital Arts Studios XR group.
