In parallel to the "Sailing the Sonic Sea Event" (Salish Sea, Victoria BC June 5-8), we are launching a CALL FOR COMPOSITIONS based on Ocean Network Canada's underwater bank of sound recordings! A selection of the compositions will appear on the album curated by EarthSonic Project!

My favourite read of the holiday👇🏼a penetrating afro-futurist story about an underwater society built by descendants of pregnant enslaved women who could breath underwater. It’s also about memory, colonialism, the pain and trauma left by history, relationships between us and more than us. A must read

Despite more than 1500 reports of Havana Syndrome (HS) in the world, the cause remains unclear. First reported in Havana in 2016 among US and CDN diplomats. New report says that diplomats struggled to access benefits. Denielle Elliott and I wrote a piece about this - published soon! Stay tuned!
