Eco-acoustics -- catching nature's symphony

Grand Traverse County is moving ahead with new building projects, plus the state Natural Resources Commission could consider enacting a "one-buck" rule on deer hunters this week. We also talk with Matthew Burtner, a composer and sound artist who records soundscapes from different environments and makes them into music. Burtner is completing an artist residency sponsored by the Elberta Labor Heritage Center (WUWU Community Radio), Sawbill Surf Club, and Interlochen Public Radio. He collaborated with residents of Benzie County to record the sounds of the Betsie River Valley for a new composition called "Estuary and Crossing." Hear the composition in full and meet Burtner at a community potluck and listening session on Wednesday, May 13 at 6 p.m. at Elberta United Methodist Church.
