Using a method of Cymatics (popularised by Ernst Chladni in the late 17th century) fixed tones of different bird calls and the recprdings of soils, plants and human acitivity presnt in and around an area of ancient Sussex woodland were transferred through a shallow pool of water using a speaker set below to form ripples on the surface. The resulting patterns were then captured as a series of still and moving images to create a series of intricate linear and speckled formations to visually represent the acoustic fingerprint of the woods.
