Study and research environmental sound, marine ecology, recording and computer music composition while exploring the beauty of the Caribbean Sea during this two-week summer intensive program in Puerto Rico, St. Kitts, Dominica, Barbados, Grenada, Trinidad, Curacao, Bonaire and Aruba.

May 27-June 10, 2010. The ship departs from Nassau, Bahamas and returns to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Participants travel on a modern and safe, first class passenger ship equipped with wireless internet, concert hall and advanced academic facilities. Coastal land-based adventures offer participants the possibility to experience amazing things such as a whale and dolphin audio safari in Dominica, the Pitch Lake and sulpher ponds of Trinidad and more.

The adventure will offer a fascinating course of study in sound and ecology from the comfort and safety of a first class ship as we explore the beauty and culture of the Caribbean. The academic concentration will be supported by advanced creative work, and travel in the Caribbean as we visit locations such as Puerto Rico, St. Kitts, Dominica, Barbados, Grenada, Trinidad, Bonaire, Curacao and Aruba. Participants may present their own work at the Oceans/Elements Concert which will also feature music by internationally acclaimed sound artists.

Up to 15 participants will be accepted. Applications will be reviewed as they arrive until all spots are filled. The final deadline for applications is March 31, 2010. Participants receive an EcoSono Institute Certificate and letter of recommendation. Enrolled university students may be able to apply course work for college credit.
