Ms Howe’s work includes creating sound baths, both indoor and outdoor, using instruments such as gongs and singing bowls.
Vice-chairman of Unesco Biosphere Isle of Man Clare Barber MHK said it would bring a “fresh perspective” by using sound “to connect people with the environment in exciting and thought-provoking ways”.
“Her work allows individuals to experience the richness of our biodiversity through soundscapes and audio art that engages the senses in a manner that other creative outlets cannot,” she said.
Arts Council chairman Sarah Maltby MHK said the residency was “now firmly established in the island’s creative community”.
It offered a “unique and valuable experience for artists” allowing for further collaboration between the organisations involved “whilst championing arts and culture as fundamental to our wellbeing and sense of place”, she added.
