In April and May 2022 two INTERNATIONAL EPISODES were filmed simultaneously in Scotland and Australia. BOTH ARE NOW AVAILABLE at the Eco Opera website
What is Eco Opera?
Eco Opera features musical instruments ‘played’ by wind, rain and animals. It uses innovative techniques to amplify normally inaudible noises. Everyday sounds are transformed into music.

Is it Music or Video?
The work is driven by sound and music, while vision shows us the sound source. Vision and audio are equal servants to the unique environmental music.

Bird Feeder
Bird Feeder has strings and tuned perches for birds to ‘play’, creating melodies and rhythms as they peck and flap while feeding.
