This webinar will be exploring the bat species behind the 'Echo in the Dark' vinyl album, which features new electronic music created by the artist Hanna Tuulikki 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.

A Mammal Society bat expert will introduce the bat species featured in these unique tracks.

'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.
