ABSTRACT This research seeks to conceptualise the close link between people and nature. It will be centred around intangible heritage, living archives, memories and ritualised spaces through the lens of ecomusicology. In the research, we use music, soundscapes and Traditional Cultural Expressions or storytelling, ritual, dance and heritage products (otherwise known as TCEs) to extrapolate data and question traditional disciplinary barriers. Additionally, this research concerns the use of the arts and heritage in developing new approaches to communicable science education and archival practice - placing performance and ritual as knowledge and the spaces these are created as part of the (an)archive.
