About this event
The event is part of his ongoing collaboration with Natural England at Goonhilly Downs SSSI. Audiences are invited to experience a 10-speaker soundscape revealing the hidden sonic worlds of this extraordinary Cornish landscape.
Jamie House has developed an evolving archive of field recordings across Goonhilly Downs, capturing surface atmospheres and subterranean textures. Using ambisonic microphones alongside contact mics, hydrophones, and geophones, he records dew-soaked sphagnum, wind-shivered gorse, freshwater pools, and the metallic tremor of historic satellite dishes. These natural sounds are interwoven with electromagnetic fields, seismic vibrations, VLF radio, and shortwave transmissions, blending heathland life with planetary and cosmic signals.
The Listening Experience
The installation unfolds in three movements:
1. Ephemeral Pools (20 mins): Underwater plant resonances and nocturnal insects
2. Transitions (20 mins): Dusk-to-dawn soundscapes with nightjars, bats, and infrasonic insects
3. Barrier Thresholds (20 mins): Night recordings near the Earth Station, merging human-made and geophysical signals
Audiences are invited to reflect on human and non-human interconnections, from seasonal regeneration to planetary and cosmic scales.
