Kristine Diekman, Mary Edwards: Ten Good YearsTen Good Years is an imaginative soundwalk drawing on dendrology, bioacoustics and listening to the inner life of trees, whose narrative yields the illusion of time and space slipping, extending or contracting through its soundscape composition.

Listen

Kristine Diekman, Ben Pagac: Sensilla SanguisSensilla Sanguis explores bioacoustic energies in the multisensory world of pathogen-carrying arthropods to understand the health and societal impacts in the shared environment. The conditions in which human populations live in affected communities impact daily practices to such an extent that something as simple as walking outside may be unsafe. With solastalgia in mind, we ask, how are concepts or feelings of home changed in these circumstances? Can we co-create adaptations with arthropod species?

Listen

Arthur Enguehard, Cha Caillat: A Photo-Ethnography of Listening as Alternative in Earth SciencesA visual ethnography of two listening sessions of audified seismic data with voluntary geologists. A photo-exploration of listening as an alternative and ecosophical methodology in seismology.

Listen

Created with the support of Dpt. Geosciences ENS-PSL, Ensadlab-PSL, and SACRe-PSL.

Ida Hiršenfelder (beepblip), Hugo Lioret: Of Stone and SanctuaryThe study explores the sonic traces of the Hambach Forest, scarred by brown coal surface mining. We present field recordings from within the woodland, its intricate soundscapes, its remaining biodiversity, the intrusion of anthropogenic noise, and the anxiety-inducing subsonic thud of open-pit excavations.

In collaboration with Malou editions and produced by Sektor Institute, with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia, Ljubljana City Municipality – Department for Culture, IReMus, and Malou editions.

Ivan Penov: “Lament” – Engaging with “Dead” EnvironmentsInvestigating post-wildfire ecologies, the music in “Lament” weaves field recordings, cello and live electronics to explore burnt woods as a sonic space, and express grief and healing.

Listen

Commissioned by the EC Joint Research Centre in the framework of the SciArt project’s Resonances IV cycle on “NaturArchy: Towards a Natural Contract”.

Ján Solčáni: My Friend’s Descent into MadnessThis listening poster explores how the relentless infrastructural noise of a railway can affect mental health and everyday stability. It illustrates urban sound environments as sites of social injustice.

Listen

Georgios Varoutsos: Peace Wall Belfast: Listening across Divided SpacesIn West Belfast, the Peace Wall stands as a complex structure of cement, metal, gates, and murals. While conversations continue around dismantling such walls, they remain a fragile part of the city’s landscape, shaping daily life, restricting movement, and limiting communication between communities. By focusing on sound as a tool for reflection, empathy, and connection, the project explores how artistic practice can support conflict transformation and cultural understanding. It invites listeners to inhabit space differently, and to consider how listening can reshape our perceptions of place, history, and community in divided environments.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Kristine Diekman

Media artist and educator working in responsive media, sound, drawing, documentary and experimental film, and social practice art. She creates sonic works at bleeding edges of art, science, bioacoustics and biotremology.

Mary Edwards

Composer and environmental sound artist whose interdisciplinary practice encompasses themes of temporality, impermanence, nostalgia and the natural world that recur throughout her work.

Ben Pagac

Entomologist, musician and independent producer living in Annapolis, Maryland. He creates sonic works at bleeding edges of art, science, bioacoustics and biotremology.

Arthur Enguehard

Working on a PhD about listening in seismology, entitled Listening to the (E)arth: Hybriding sonic arts and geosciences, production of knowledge and sensitization toward environment.

Cha Caillat

Documentary photographer, combining photography and ethnographic observations.

Ida Hiršenfelder [beepblip]

Sound artist based in Ljubljana, making spatial compositions exploring sound ecology in non-human animal languages, agency of non-organic others, and listening to the inaudible sounds.

Hugo Lioret

Sound artist and PhD researcher based in Paris, pursuing a sociomusicological action-research project based on bio-inspiration.

Ivan Penov

Electroacoustic composer. His artworks are inspired by natural and rural contexts.

Ján Solčáni
