About: Sounding At Sea is a multi-artform performance piece exploring the impact of human noise pollution on the behaviour and acoustic communication of orcas and other marine mammals. Movement artists ‘becoming whale’ through immersion in a VR underwater world will generate video feeds, which are projected for the audience and simultaneously serve as a dynamic graphic score for improvising musicians. Sound and movement emotionally intensify the lived human-orca experience to offer audiences a new route towards interspecies empathy. Sounding At Sea will premiere in Glasgow (Scotland) at GIOfest XVIII in November 2026. https://alexsouth.org/sounding-at-sea/
