The chorus for Echo-Maker, made in the stunning wetland landscape of the Somerset Levels as part of the Cranes and Communities project; a collaboration between Sean Harris, Jim Brook and community groups undertaken as part of a commission from Somerset Art Works.
All the cranes here were animated in community and primary school workshops across the Levels at which readings of this powerful excerpt from Aldo Leopold’s ‘Marshland Elegy’ were also gathered. Many of the adult voices are of volunteers from the Great Crane Project – people who have contributed so much to the return of these magnificent birds, thereby helping to secure the future of this vital habitat.
