In this series of recorded encounters we speak with the participants of Onassis AiR to shed light on their artistic practices and needs, as well as to reflect on ways of being and working together. In this conversation, we are  speaking with Samuel Hertz. Sam is a Berlin based composer, sound artist and researcher working at the intersections of sound, sonic sensualities and climate change. He participates in The School of Infinite Rehearsals Movement III, with a collective research focus on ecologies as well as human and more-than-human interactions. Today, we talk about the notion of sonic ecology by discussing his research practice, where he investigates the connections between sound and climate through an emphasis on geologic, geographic, ecological and social listening practices.
