Dolomites soundscape and a nightingale’s song win nature music prize
Inaugural Tune into Nature prize is aiming to highlight how the natural world is central to creative life
Nightingale by Wildforms, real name Dan Cippico, is inspired by recordings the electronic musician made last spring of the rare bird’s incredibly fast, mesmeric song. The two winners beat nine other shortlisted artists, covering genres including hip-hop, rock, pop, jazz, folk and classical, to take the prize, which was founded by Miles Richardson, the professor of nature connectedness at the University of Derby. The competition has been supported by organisations including University of Derby’s Nature Connectedness Research Group, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, the Conservation Foundation, EarthPercent and Sounds Right.
