Echo in the Dark: Bio-Vinyl Prize Draw
Dance with Daubenton’s Bats, and Party with Pipistrelles! Enter our prize draw for a unique piece of musical and visual art, featuring field recordings of British bats.
Artists Hanna Tuulikki and Tommy Perman, and their album of bat-inspired dance tracks
Hanna Tuulikki and Tommy Perman’s 'Echo in the Dark' album comprises dance music tracks inspired by and featuring bat echolocation sounds, collected with communities in Arbroath, Angus, and across the UK.
'Echo in the Dark' is a collaborative work initiated by British-Finnish artist, composer and performer Hanna Tuulikki exploring the interconnections of bat echolocation and dance music as a model for ecological coexistence. Through music and rave, the artist invites audiences to tune into the more-than-human rhythms and frequencies of bats, including those gathered by Scottish communities in Angus. The beats and melodies of the music are made entirely from recordings of bat echolocation calls fused with the sounds of Tuulikki’s voice.
'Echo in the Dark' features new electronic music created by the artist in collaboration with music producer and visual artist Tommy Perman, with each track focusing on a different bat species from the British Isles, using samples of their ultrasonic calls combined with the human voice to create an ephemeral human-bat hybrid world.

The artists have generously donated one of a strictly limited edition of just 300 bio-vinyl copies of this album to the Mammal Society to raffle off in support of our mammal conservation work. 100% of profits from this prize draw will go to the Mammal Society to support their vital work to study, protect and restore native mammal populations across the British Isles and Ireland.
Only 300 copies of this album are being pressed, each created from sustainable bio-vinyl and accompanied by a beautiful unique riso print by Scotland-based artist Tommy Perman. No album has the same riso print, so it really is an exclusive piece of art to own! The winner will also receive the album digitally. View the 300 prints in the video below.
The prize draw will close on 28th September, and the winner will be drawn at random on 30th September and informed in the first week of October. The prize will be dispatched in October. The more tickets purchased, the more likely you are to win this special prize - and the more you are supporting mammal conservation. 🦡🦔🦌
