In light of lockdown, Isla embraced the opportunity to expand her practice into audio work. ecotone was made from Isla's flat, with her own voice, composition and sound effects.

In this immersive audio work, time and narrative are turned upside down as the listener slowly leaves the human behind. Using spoken word and multispecies storytelling inspired by Donna Haraway and Anna Tsing, ecotone breaks down the binaries of human and nature, self and other, in a fragmentary assemblage. A meeting ground of sound, words and wonder.

ecotone was first developed as part of the Making Space festival for Scottish Youth Theatre.
