Hightide Scat Direct

Live performances by High Tide Scat are not for the faint of heart. The ensemble's intense energy translates into a visceral experience, with the musicians generating a maelstrom of sound that threatens to engulf the audience. As with a stormy coastline, the boundary between performer and spectator blurs, and the listener becomes an active participant in the sonic turmoil.

High tide scat consists of the fecal matter left behind by marine mammals such as whales, dolphins, seals, and sea lions. These animals deposit their scat, often in the form of nutrient-rich feces, onto beaches, rocky shores, or coastal vegetation during high tide. The scat can be an important food source for certain species, like seabirds and insects, and plays a vital role in nutrient cycling within coastal ecosystems. hightide scat
