Ecotone Trail: Where Habitat + Music Intersect

Marsh - Billings - Rockefeller National Historical Park

  • 30 - 60 minutes
  • 4 tour stops

This tour features three original sound compositions and various listening practices. Created by artists Ellen Smith Ahern and Menghan Wang, the trail explores transitional habitats, or ecotones, where distinct soundscapes shift into one another. The artists draw inspiration from these liminal spaces, encouraging visitors to engage their senses and notice changes around them. Through field recordings of environmental sounds, the trail invites reflection on our relationship with “ecologies in tension".
