For our first episode of 2023, we’re turning our ears towards science fiction sounds & speculative stories. The new year elicits speculation about the future. Where are we going? In a time marked by uncertainty and shadowed by pandemic, war, climate crisis, and social reckoning, how can sound pair with imagination to expand our sense of what’s possible? This episode of EARS HAVE EYES invited participation from artists forecasting and spell-casting the future. Whether instrumental or narrative, dystopian or utopian, outer-spacey or inner-spacey, technical or magical, this month’s episode invited artists to squint into the distance, imagining what could be.
