Address: 10 Cossins Rd, Redland, Bristol, BS6 7LY Tel: 07766 105491 Email: [email protected] Web: www.bristolensemble.com Artistic Director - Roger Huckle 2 Project Plan TreeSong was a Bristol Green Capital project and part of the Nature strand of public events. It was based on an idea designed with three aims: Improving public knowledge and understanding of nature within the urban environment Connecting people to nature and encouraging their appreciation of the natural urban wealth through interaction Providing an artistic experience through the interpretation of a natural phenomenon Original proposal TreeSong is an arts installation commissioned by Bristol 2015 as part of the city’s year as European Green Capital. A specific beech tree was chosen (see map) we installed a low level structure beneath the canopy designed to make contact with the falling beechnuts and emit musical sound across an octave. All the sounds were recorded to capture the soundtrack of the tree and this data was used in a new classical composition premiered at St George’s Bristol in November. During hours of darkness, the installation and the tree was lit with red and green wash lighting. A solar-powered generator was positioned close to the site to provide environmentally-friendly electricity supply. Over the period of the installation, people were able to hear the sounds of the tree. An education project was planned to run alongside the installation to provide information about the tree and the role and importance of trees in the urban environment.

  • Dan-Brockington-Celebrity-And-The
    More praise for Celebrity and the Environment ‘More exposé than a tabloid. More weight than a broadsheet ... Brockington lends academic muscle to what, I suspect, many of us instinctively feel about these issues. Extensively researched yet winsomely written and, thankfully, not veering into cynicism which a book on this subject could easily do. Enlightening and easily accessible by the armchair environmentalist.’ Terry Clark, St Luke’s Church, Glossop ‘I was surprised by this book. Anything containing the mere word “celebrity” will normally see me heading for the hills at speed, let alone a whole book on the subject! Dan’s book is written with wit and grace. His research was clearly meticulous and the result is a book that is informative and enjoyable.’ Robin Barker, Countrycare Children’s Homes ‘In an analysis that builds on a large literature examining interlinkages between conservation and corporate interest, Dan Brockington turns a new corner, investigating how the rich and famous lend their glamour to the noble goal of saving the planet. In reality conservation is a highly political pursuit with winners and losers. Brockington provides a well- balanced account of the pros of harnessing the razzamatazz of celebrity to the conservation cause with the cons of sanitizing the harsh realities of conservation politics and the insidious danger of commoditizing nature. If you want to embark on the journey in to contemporary conservation you would go well with this book.’ Monique Borgerhoff Mulder and Tim Caro, University of California at Davis ‘A thoroughly stimulating book that made me question my role as a conservation filmmaker.’ Jeremy Bristow, director and writer About the author Dan Brockington has a PhD in anthro- pology from UCL and is happiest conducting long-term research in remote rural areas.
