Voice of the Wood, Rob Mackay for Mapping Marton Wood

Sound Artist Rob Mackay has been working alongside Ecologist Simon Pickles from the North and East Yorkshire Ecological Data Agency. With the help of Simon’s knowledge, Rob has created a map of the wood through sound, from the roots to the canopy and through the seasons. His audio map combines field recordings with “sonifications” (making data into sounds) of different ecological information.
