Emily Sheppard is a composer, performer and scientist based in Tasmania. She dwells in the uncharted territory between realms often considered opposites: classical and folk, improvisation and notation, art and science. Greatly inspired by the enduring mysteries of nature, she aims to bring a little more wonder to the world.

Emily will share and talk about her hydrophone recordings of the sounds of The Great Southern Reef, and how she incorporates the practise of musical improvisation to share the wonder of this underwater environment.
