{"product_id":"wetland-project","title":"Wetland Project: Explorations in Sound, Ecology and Post-Geographical Art","description":"\u003cb\u003e\"The Wetland Project is a beautiful, quietly amazing work of micro-post-geographical art that allows us to be wherever we are and somewhere wonderfully natural and real, simultaneously. It's an experience I wish everyone could have, and I wish there were more experiences like it.\"  - William Gibson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eThe Wetland Project\u003c\/i\u003e   book is the print component of a multidisciplinary and multimedia project centred on the sounds emanating from the TEKTEKSEN marsh, in unceded WSANEC territory (Saturna Island, British Columbia). The book is edited by artists Brady Marks and Mark Timmings, who have been inspired by the sonic phenomena produced by this small patch of Earth to create a 24-hour Slow Radio Broadcast, based on field recordings from the marsh, that radio stations across North America and Europe have aired on Earth Day since 2017; a musical arrangement titled Wetland Senario, co-composed with Stephen Morris and performed by vocal ensemble musica intima; and a new media installation that algorithmically transforms sound frequencies from the marsh recordings into pure colour fields in flux.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors to the book include novelist \u003cb\u003eWilliam Gibson\u003c\/b\u003e, artist and scholar \u003cb\u003eDolleen Tisawii'ashii Manning\u003c\/b\u003e of Kettle and Stoney Point First Nation, MP and former Green Party leader \u003cb\u003eElizabeth May\u003c\/b\u003e, poet and spoken-word performer \u003cb\u003eSusan McMaster\u003c\/b\u003e, musicologist \u003cb\u003eStephen Morris\u003c\/b\u003e, writer \u003cb\u003eAlex Muir\u003c\/b\u003e, poet and WSANEC First Nation member \u003cb\u003ePhilip Kevin Paul\u003c\/b\u003e, Sto:lo artist, curator, and scholar \u003cb\u003eDylan Robinson\u003c\/b\u003e, sound artist and World Soundscape Project member \u003cb\u003eHildegaard Westerkamp\u003c\/b\u003e, and curator, writer, and PhD student \u003cb\u003eLaurie White\u003c\/b\u003e.
