My contribution to Sonic Intangibles is an evolving electroacoustic composition that explores the sonification of climate-impact data, drawn from archaeological practices at Vindolanda and Magna Roman Fort along Hadrian’s Wall. The work engages with the idea of heritage in flux, examining how environmental pressures are gradually eroding both material remains and cultural memory through processes that can be explored through sound and listening.
Site-specific audio and environmental data—such as temperature and soil pH—are translated into an experience situated at the intersection of sonic art, acoustic ecology, and data sonification. With the support of the Sonic Intangibles team, I have been developing systems that implement data to dynamically control audio processes and effects. This opens up the possibility of extending the work into a spatial sound installation that continuously responds to ecological change over time.
I would like to thank Sonic Intangibles and the Vindolanda Trust for their ongoing support in the development of this project.
