Sound artist and composer David Stalling will present a concert using sounds made entirely from audifications of seismic data in an immersive listening setting: the sounds of a recent volcanic eruption near Grindavik as evidenced by a dying seismometer; sounds of the North Atlantic seafloor excited by currents, tidal motion and weather pattern; calls of whales and the hum of ships and other human-operated machines. David will be joined by his collaborators, seismologists Sergei Lebedev and Nick Rawlinson, who will illuminate the science behind the sounds.

Designed for ages 9 and up.
