Rivers are an acute example of the Anthropocene as natural systems that have been directly and indirectly altered by socio-economic actions over millennia. By deploying the unique capacities to sound to evoke reactions to places, <em>Fluvial Tones</em> is discussed as an aural artefact to experience the specifics of the case study, while also connecting to the (mis)uses of rivers more generally.}, month = {8}, pages = {12}, keywords = {anthropocene,Ireland,rivers,field recording,audio methods,sound art}, issn = {2633-4321}, publisher={University of Westminster Press}, journal = {Anthropocenes – Human, Inhuman, Posthuman} }
