Natural soundscapes are dynamic, emergent patterns of acoustic activity which arise from the interactions between physical, biological and anthropogenic processes. The soundscape both reflects and influences ecological processes, and therefore provides valuable information about ecological status. In this talk I will share some initial results from our current research exploring a range of approaches to map, model and measure the dynamical complexity of soundscapes across temporal resolutions - from diel patterns, through chorus dynamics to short term temporal complexity. With this approach we integrate ecosemiotic and complex systems perspectives and develop a conception of the soundscape as a dynamic space of information flow. 

Alice Eldridge will perform at the sleep concert on Friday:
