Wonderful moments from a Practice Research Conference at the University of East London this weekend, where I got to share a taster of my voice-water enchantment practice with fellow practice-as-research PhD students.

[Dr Sophia Edlund @EdlundSophia]

It seems natural now, that an investigation of siren song and vocal enchantment would lead to water, but a few years ago that path was not so clear 🌊🪞

[Dr Sophia Edlund @EdlundSophia]

How do you celebrate and mark an occasion?
A few weeks ago, I submitted my PaR thesis on voicing enchantment. I’m so grateful that my research led me to the “water scene”.

[Dr Sophia Edlund @EdlundSophia]

So excited for this event I've organised together with Dr. Tom Rice.
I took his bioacoustics class during my MA in #anthrozoology! It really blew my mind. Come to this event and have how you view AND listen to other animals + your environment in general change forever!
