The Greenland Whale is a meeting between the English folk song The Greenland Whale Fishery
and The Listening Planet founder Martyn Stewart's field recordings of a sperm whale.
The electroacoustic creations included in Fragile Worlds engage with the themes of beauty,
diversity and fragility. They cover a range of topics, nature and a vast global footprint. The
pieces reveal how sound can be used to better understand the natural world around us, as
well as the role we play in shaping and protecting it.
In collaboration with Royal Academy of Music, Biophonica, The Listening Planet and
