Three Storms: acousmatic music in 8 channels

Abstract

February 2022 saw a remarkable sequence of three named storms in the UK – Dudley, Eunice and Franklyn – which followed each other within the course of a single week. It was another of the increasingly frequent record-breaking weather events that point towards the dangers of climate change.

Three Storms uses sea wave data from buoys located around the south west of England and North Wales, turning it into sound to create a musical depiction of a tumultuous month. I am grateful to Dr David Christie, Research Fellow in Ocean Renewable Energy Modelling in Bangor’s School of Ocean Sciences, for his invaluable help in obtaining and understanding the data.
