Excited to share images from "Echoes from the Future" — my interspecies concert performance exploring tender, ecofeminist visions of possible futures, where haunting, sensual poems and songs echo back into the present. Here, I queer and animalize technology, inviting all critters (human, more-than-human, and nonhuman alike) to create ecologies of listening, attune to one another, and become kin. Performed at @neuenationalgalerie , Festival of Future Nows III, Nov 1, 2025 Curated by @cwer0080 @studioolafureliasson @klausbiesenbach Live mixing by brilliant @midomo A warmhearted thank you to all my artistic & sonic collaborators — the amazing @robert_lippok and the research team of @intelligentinstruments @victorrileys @thor.magnusson @halldorophone Icelandic ravens, Arctic terns and foxes, orcas, kría, and blue whales. Honored to be playing “Stacco” — a magnetic intelligent instrument prototype invented by @nicolaprivato (see pic 4). ⚡ Special thanks to Magnús Bergsson for lending me his precious Meradalir eruption site recordings, @louisbclarke for guidance on infrasound mic recordings, and @france.fabris & @jdkarmitage for sharing their Lava AI RAVE model with me.

Close-ups from Echoes from the Future — an interspecies concert performance exploring tender, ecofeminist visions of possible futures, where haunting, sensual poems and songs echo back into the present.

Both music and language are ancient, more-than-human technologies. I imagine future interspecies communication—facilitated by the invisible, disruptive yet connective power of sound (@b_llabelle 2018)—as a space for radical political transformations rooted in affection and care. „Listening to wild places, we are audience to conversations in a language not our own.“

Glacial withness: Listening at the edge of planetary boundaries New audio paper by Angela Snæfellsjökuls Rawlings, Santiago Rueda-García, Konstantine Vlasis, Daniela Amado, Adam Świtała, Rike Scheffler and Linnéa Ida-Maria Falck. /node/20862 The #audio #paper is part of Seismograf Peer’s series SOUND AND THE MORE-THAN-HUMAN WORLDS This audio paper offers an autoethnographic engagement with both glaciers and the ideas-of-glaciers through acts of listening by Snæfellsjökul fyrirforseta campaign members. The #campaign relies upon artistic intervention as #sociolegal innovation by nominating the glacier Snæfellsjökull for Iceland’s 2024 presidential race. A founding tenet of the collective’s working #method is listening as a primary strategy to become-with glacier (að jökla). Through campaign members’ application of multimodal research approaches, the audio paper will conceptualise, describe, and demonstrate how #listening forms an integral component of communicating with the more-than-human to speculate on possible future worldings. The paper goes beyond the concept of the »soundscape« as a wide and general metaphor (Ingold, 2007) seeking more meaningful and intimate relationships via sound, understood as a physical phenomenon of vibration, both audible and inaudible (Östersjö, et al., 2024). It questions the Western notion of music as a human (and) sonic practice, promoting listening as a creative act of becoming-with. The narrative and #sonic structure of the audio paper is a building, layered unfolding – an ecomimicry of glacial becoming through flow, surge, thinning, thawing, recession, ablation, melt – where our prose outlines the palimpsestComparable to how palimpsests are archives for writing and revising, so too do glaciers compose and reconstitute the land. See Daughtry’s Acoustic Palimpsest. of Snæfellsjökull from its extent to its projected disappearance. #audiopaper #musica #musician #musik #research #listen #silence #nature #human #more #traditional #island #iceland #podcast #radio #academia
