The UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology has a made a special video about the making of Ellie Wilson’s Moth x Human for International Day of Biodiversity, 22nd May.

Moth x Human is an immersive audio-visual composition by classically trained violinist Ellie Wilson. Produced by Oxford Contemporary Music, this unique project brings together musicians, electronics, and sounds derived from moth activity data collected by UKCEH’s automated insect monitoring (AMI) system. 

MOTH X HUMAN will be performed at Bradford City of Culture (7th June) and London’s Southbank Centre (5th July) as part of PRS Foundation’s New Music Biennial. Free tickets are available.

Moth x Human is part of New Music Biennial. It was commissioned by Oxford Contemporary Music with support from UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology.
