TORSKETROMMING

#TORSKETROMMING (#CODDRUMMING) is a scientific and artistic exploration of the role of music in the mating ritual of Atlantic cod. Scientists, musicians, and sound engineers will work to decipher their language and share the progress here! Mating dance redrawn from Brawn 1961:

Lecture videos from our workshop 𝔻𝕖𝕔𝕠𝕕𝕚𝕟𝕘 ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕞𝕦𝕟𝕚𝕔𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟 𝕚𝕟 ℕ𝕠𝕟𝕙𝕦𝕞𝕒𝕟 𝕊𝕡𝕖𝕔𝕚𝕖𝕤 𝕀𝕀 are now available here: bit.ly/3PMUrp6. We co-hosted this workshop with the @UCBerkeley @SimonsInstitute & Oceankind in June.

🌍🧠 Understanding the occurrence of motherese in dolphins has broader impacts. It sheds light on the evolution of vocal learning and language, bridging the gap between humans and nonhuman species. Stay tuned for more discoveries in #animalcommunication ! 📚🐬 #ScienceMatters

"Chance, Information and Biological Evolution. The history of drumming in woodpeckers." - May 25, @UGustaveEiffel, Annual Conference of the @InstUnivFr 👉iuf2023.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/… - The full story is here: nature.com/articles/s4146… @Univ_St_Etienne

1/5) I would call this one a labor of love but it was mostly just love… new Perspective out in @MethodsEcolEvol with @AndreaRavignani and @LaraBurchardt! We introduce an eight-level reporting framework for research on acoustic rhythms. Read the paper at: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Tired of recording #fishsounds and not knowing which species produce them ? 🐟🔊 Check out our new paper in @MethodsEcolEvol where we propose 3 audio-video platforms to identify #fishsounds in the wild.👇 doi.org/10.1111/2041-2… #tech4wildlife @WILDLABSNET 🧵1/7

Amazing talk by the great @mazzei_renata telling us about fish hearing adaptations and how some fish either avoid or are attracted by anthropogenic sounds! Yes… 🐟 have ears👂! #SCAS_SCSA2023 @scas_scsa @GRIL_Limnologie

The @TORSKETROMMING project is possible with support from @coastresnor @AgderUniversity @cairuia @Kulturrdet @NSERC_CRSNG @Havforskningen @CEESUiO @biovitenskap. Barents Spektakel is supported by many many more! barentsspektakel.no 8/

We conclude the festival 01.03 with a debut concert in the Dialects of the Deep exhibition with John Andrew Wilhite-Hannisdal on cod synth✨ (johnandrew.no), Per Anders Store (perandersstore.bandcamp.com), & the extraordinary Sainkho Namtchylak (instagram.com/sainkho_namtch…). 7/

The Transborder Café: In Cod We Trust (28.02) is a debate on 🇳🇴-🇷🇺 fishing cooperation w/@BakkeJensen @fiskeridir, @GeirHonneland @FniNansen, Maria Fossheim @Havforskningen, & Sverre Johansen @NorgesFiskarlag. Me and @Arne_O_Holm introduce the debate with a short discussion. 6/

On Saturday @ 1300 in the Dialects of the Deep exhibition, I’ll speak about what listening to cod can tell us about their communities and how we impact them. I’ll also give some background on the @TORSKETROMMING project. 5/

Our #DKS children’s workshops led by John Andrew & Maja Wilhite-Hannisdal offer an interactive multimedia experience that give the next generation of ocean stewards a feel for the complex social lives of cod. Join us @TORSKETROMMING February 24, 26, & 27! 4/

Overlooking the main exhibition is another with audio/video stories about the research we’re doing on cod ecology, reproduction, evolution, and, of course, music. Some videos are @Havforskningen’s YouTube channel: hi.no/en/hi/news/202… Come say hi to me & @Susannamarine! 3/

Sound sculpture installation by visual artist Anastasia Savinova & sound artist/composer John Andrew Wilhite-Hannisdal fills the garage of the old fire hall. It represents 2 years of collaboration to better understand relationships between local communities of cod and people. 2/

The @TORSKETROMMING team is ecstatic to be back in Kirkenes for the premiere of our new scientific-artistic work Dialects of the Deep (Dialekter fra dypet) at #BarentsSpektakel 24.02-01.03! sound sculpture, workshops, lecture, concert! details👇 Info: barentsspektakel.no/en/ 1/

This map shows Norwegian #notakezones for lobster, banning all fishing with nets, traps, trawl and alike. What do the locals think about these marine protected areas? #MPAs #OECMs Well, locals asked for the reserves! It is possible to avoid conflict #30x30 vs #IPLC rights #COP15!

We’re hiring a funded PhD fellow in #MachineLearning and #Bioacoustics @AgderUniversity! The fellow will work with acoustic data on 🐟 & 🐸 in the coastal zone @coastresnor & @CairEnglish in ☀️southern Norway! Apply by Nov.14 👉 jobbnorge.no/en/available-j… Please RT! DMs open 😊
