Cosmo Sheldrake: A Polyphonic Wake-up Call | BIOTOPIA SENSE FESTIVAL

With songs from his new album “Wake Up Calls” and improvised pieces, multi-instrumentalist and composer Cosmo Sheldrake draws our attention to the loss of biodiversity. His music consists largely of recordings of the songs of endangered birds. He adds in further natural sounds such as bioelectric recordings of fungal networks and plant root systems and hydrophone recordings of local waterways to create a truly polyphonic performance. Come reflect on the magnificent soundscapes that surround us before many of these voices become extinct!
