Sound is the element that moves invisibly through air and water alike - carrying the memory of the fenlands’ past, the pulse of their present and the echo of the waters that will one day return.
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Sound plays a vital role in expressing both the atmosphere and emotion of this landscape. The flatness of the fens, the hush of drained land, the constant presence of wind and water and the distant hum of machinery all speak to a sense of time and transformation.
This commission invites a sound artist or composer to create an immersive sound installation that evokes the cyclical nature of the fenlands — a revolving sonic journey that reflects how water has defined, sustained, and will ultimately reclaim the region.
