Director of Music Technology Research Tony Myatt at the Department of Music / The University in York is developing the programming for the installation and consulting Jana on technical issues. The sound in the installation will be changing according to the tide of Glimma, and the change of seasons.
The sound work is based on sounds recorded at Hamarøy and locally from above and under the surface of Glimma, of snails, sea Urchins and fish form different seasons.
