TERRE by Aurora Engine

Blending collected sounds of nature with harp, voice, piano and French horn, Aurora Engine presents a series of environmentally inspired electroacoustic compositions: Expect pitch-shifting blackbirds, rhythmic honey bees, ‘sonic trees’ and ocean soundscapes amongst beautiful, beguiling songs.

Commissioned by Sound Festival (2022), this sonic exploration of Scottish landscape and wildlife invites audiences to submit voice and nature recordings in advance which will be then weaved into the performance. Fusing real instruments, voice and progressive electronica, Aurora Engine’s work encapsulates a singular and striking auditory world.

Linda Buckley, Composer and one of Made in Scotland 2023 panellists, talks about the reasons why Terre was selected to be a part of the MiS showcase.
