Echolocations
Echolocations
Invoking the vast aquatic distances across which whales can communicate, and responding to the tremendous spaces of the awe-inspiring cathedral in Winchester, four composer-performers came together to create Echolocations. Inspired by marine ecologies and reckoning with human impact on the natural ocean environment the performance responds to Gumbs’ (2021) provocation that ‘marine mammals [have] much to teach us about the vulnerability, collaboration and adaptation we need in order to be with change at this time, especially since one of the major changes we are living through, causing and shaping in this climate crisis is the rising of the ocean. If there was ever a time to humbly submit to the mentorship of marine mammals it is now’.

Abstract
Invoking the vast aquatic distances across which whales can communicate, and responding to the tremendous spaces of the awe-inspiring cathedral in Winchester, four composer-performers came together to create Echolocations. Inspired by marine ecologies and reckoning with human impact on the natural ocean environment the performance responds to Gumbs’ (2021) provocation that ‘marine mammals [have] much to teach us about the vulnerability, collaboration and adaptation we need in order to be with change at this time, especially since one of the major changes we are living through, causing and shaping in this climate crisis is the rising of the ocean. If there was ever a time to humbly submit to the mentorship of marine mammals it is now’.
