Celebrate Earth Day 2018 by joining the second annual Wetland broadcast on Sunday, April 22. Connect your everyday activities to the circadian rhythm of a Saturna Island, British Columbia marsh. The voices of creatures—frogs, birds, insects and more—take over the airwaves for this twenty-four-hour experience in “slow radio” created and produced by multidisciplinary artists Brady Marks and Mark Timmings with technical assistance from Emmy-nominated recording engineer Eric Lamontagne. Tune in via participating campus and community radio stations across Canada, or stream the soundscape online in sync with your local time, from anywhere in the world. Tweet @wetlandproject to add your voice to the interactive online stream.
