AUDIO TRANSCRIPT

Artist Janet Laurence, title Habitat 2016. This work by Janet Laurence is a 16 channel soundscape of Indigenous bird calls. The varying calls resonate a sonic version of a former Senuis environment, now largely unfortunately banished from the waters, gullies and bush it once defined through Birdsong. The work creates a texture of sound almost lost other than to Aboriginal collective memory. There are 16 birds represented in this sound installation.
