Be the Sea worked with local coastal communities to explore how we can become more capable of living with and not just on the coast - in ways that are mutually sustainable with fellow human and non-human beings? 

The project centred around three methods to foreground listening:

• Attunement: field-recording activities that zone in on the non-human sounds of the coastal seascape through listening and recording.

• Resonance: deep listening activities and voice/instrumental activities that use imaginative and creative strategies to develop an empathic and reflective relationship with the coastal seascape.

• Resilience: sound collage activities leading to a publication and composition that engenders ongoing stewardship of the coastal seascape.
