Islands - with Chris Watson & Luke Clancy. From Ross Island to Galapagos to the possibly mythical isle of HyBrasil, world renowned sound recordist Chris Watson teams up with Writer/Presenter Luke Clancy to journey across an atlas of remote islands. This program fuses documentary and drama to create a journey not usually possible, especially in these days of the pandemic.

Listeners will imagine stepping across the frozen lava at Ross Island, Antarctica, taking in the rarefied atmosphere of the Alcedo volcano on the Galapagos Islands, and listening to an incredible symphony of Bearded Seals under the ice at Svalbard, Norway. The program merges chronicles of island life by Luke with Chris’s stunning archive of natural history, accompanied by a haunting soundtrack created by Composer Irene Buckley.

Islands draws on live performances by the team at Skibbereen Arts Festival (2020) and at the International Features Conference hosted by RTÉ Documentary On One (2020).
