The Bodélé Project (2016) is a collaboration with visual artist Mark Clare.

It narrates natural events that are invisible to the naked eye, yet essential for the ecological equilibrium of our environment. The description of these events is sonically obscured through representation in morse code transmitted to radios, whereas some of their consequences are heard as recognisable sounds in the accompanying soundscape. The soundscape for the installation incorporates sounds from nature, as well as adaptations of the radio sounds and morse transmissions.

Úna and Mark met at the Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris during an immensely valuable residency programme in 2015, and this piece was conceived by Mark and composed the following year. The Bodélé project was premiered at the Sonic Arts Research Centre, Belfast on 10th March 2016 as a 9 minute adaptation for concert; its natural habitat is a more interactive gallery based installation.
