AMPLIFYING THE TROPICAL ANTS (ATTA)
2017-ongoingATTA is a research project on ant bioacoustics in the Brazilian Amazon in collaboration with myrmecologists Fabricio Baccaro & Erica Marinho do Vale, and bioacoustician Tainara Sobroza. Together we have developed accessible field methods and produced results in sound art, music composition, bioacoustics, entomology + myrmecology.
Ants are doing so much of the vital work maintaining tropical rainforest ecosystem functions - and their habitats are in turn crucial to global climate regulation.
Can listening to ants shift our perspective and encourage us to consider new metrics of knowing and making?

ATTA has produced live performance, audio installation, video, WEB-VR, print media, community-based participatory works, academic publications, and lectures at both art and science conferences.
My recent doctorate work focused on the development of music composition systems that interact with the sounds of ants, their associates and their environments.
