Jude Abrams spent decades playing music in jazz, folk, salsa, Brazilian and other bands. However, as she experienced the ongoing destruction of forests and fish streams on the pacific coast of "British Columbia" Jude was inspired to record sounds of the forests, rivers and then the ocean. Documenting environmental sounds of a place gathers information for contributing to the ongoing political efforts of First Nations to save their old growth forests and salmon streams and adds to our knowledge about the health of the sea. It also makes for compelling audio. Jude can spend hours listening to the ocean come alive through her hydrophones. She plays a "didjeridoo" (actually a 4ft/1.2m PVC pipe) for the whales. Some of them even get curious.
