Ears on the River

A floating sound adventure as part of Taunton Together Festival

Saturday 27th September 10am-4pm

A sound art work that invites you onto the water, and into the river’s world.
Weaving music, field sound and spoken word, science and imagination, Tonal crafts a distinctive vision of the River Tone from human and otter perspectives.
With original music by Welsh composer and otter fan Timothy Johnston
