about

Slieve Gullion (2015) is renowned as an area of natural beauty, but what does it sound like? Over 6 months, we slowly walked up the mountain recording the changing environment from foot to summit.

Using surround recording techniques and a variety of microphones, we recorded the sounds of the dawn chorus, forest winds, farm animals, streams, and sounds from within the mountain-top cairn and lake. In this way, we could explore unique sounds and spaces that make up the sonic environment of the area where Aidan grew up. Also recorded were inaudible sounds to the human ear, such as atmospheric activity using a VLF antenna and underwater sounds with a hydrophone.

The result is 60-minute surround-sound audio experience that takes listeners on a journey around Slieve Gullion and draws from the rich tapestry of its sonic environment.

This project was funded by the Arts Council Northern Ireland.

This recording is a stereo rendering of the multi-channel composition.
