about

As Narcissus stared into a pool of water, what did he hear? Beyond his own reflection did the subtle thrum of aquatic life enchant him?

Scattered widely across our landscapes, I believe ponds provide an accessible way to look beyond our reflection and deeply connect to ecosystems on our doorstep.

Freshwater habitats host a variety of sounds, including that of the Water Boatman (Family Corixidae) which can produce the loudest sound, relative to its size, of any animal. Field recording technology augments our senses, allowing us to explore these intricate yet rarely studied sound-worlds.
