A Symphony of Disappearing Sounds for the Great Salt Lake
2026•NR•30m•Released
Music
The short film composition, created together with UK-based music producer Koreless, combined over 150 field recordings of local animals who depend on the health of the Great Salt Lake, including hundreds of species of birds, amphibians, insects, and mammals. Drawn from existing archives as well as new recordings made for the project, the nature sounds have been mixed and translated into a musical composition that differs greatly from how the sounds would be encountered in the wild. The non-human voices are amplified and arranged into rhythmic beats to appeal to the human audience, so that they might perceive the lake in a new light and recognize its vulnerability. The film was projected as part of an art installation in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, in March and April, 2026.
