Ears Have Eyes

For the first episode of 2026, we’re shifting our focus to highlight one local duo, NUM. Comprised of sound artists, electroacoustic musicians, and multimedia artists, Maryam Sirvan and Milad Bagheri, NUM originated in Northern Iran. After studying in Georgia, Maryam & Milad moved to Calgary to continue their academic explorations several years ago. At the end of 2025, they released an album called “Seas Coming for Me.” This album was recorded at the National Music Centre with support from Calgary Arts Development. Our episode today follows Maryam & Milad’s journey through sound – music as a resistance, a collaborative life-long action, and a gateway to new worlds. We’re featuring work from their latest album, alongside older work that contextualizes this album.

While the Northern Hemisphere enters into a festive winter season, we’re returning to the spooky spirit of Autumn for Part 2 of RADIO WHISPERS. This month's episode features experimental music, spoken word, and sound art leaning into the ethereal hauntings of radio. Artists explore the strange space between frequencies, literally or metaphorically, covering everything from field recordings on shortwave radio to spooky spoken word stories about the life (and death) of domestic silk moths.

We took a brief break in October to make space on CJSW for coverage of Calgary’s municipal election. This month we’re back with a belated Halloween episode featuring experimental music, spoken word, and sound art leaning in to the ethereal hauntings of radio. We’re featuring artists exploring the strange mysteries unearthed when wandering between frequencies, literally or metaphorically. We received so many submissions, we’ve decided to split this theme into two episodes. This is Part 1 of 2.

This is our last episode of the Summer, and we’ve programmed a languid listening excursion through the sound-based work of 3 artists, each with an extended sound piece. This episode is intended as a sprawling meditation, allowing the listener a slower, more expansive listening experience. As we move between seasons, we allow ourselves one last stretch through the warmth of Summer into the cool swirl of Autumn.

For our languid August episode, we’re listening to two projects by artists reflecting on ancient Greek mythology and philosophy: The Odyssey by Homer, as seen through the eyes of Calypso, and Hyle & Eidos, understandings of matter and form first posited by Aristotle. These works are watery, abstract, mesmerizing, and elemental ~ a perfect end to Summer.

For our June & July episodes, we’re turning our eyes (and ears) skyward for an exploration of atmospheric sounds, ambient music, and cloudy noises. Part 2 deconstructs abstract and literal relationships with the theme, ranging from “mysterious powers,” sonic wanderlust, spatial compositions, and dreamlike worlds, to literal field recordings of jet-planes flying across the sky. A fun note: this program was edited in an airplane while we were, quite literally, "a shape in the clouds."

For our June & July episodes, we’re turning our eyes (and ears) skyward for an exploration of atmospheric sounds, ambient music, and cloudy noises. Whether capturing the sound of Earth's magnetosphere, field recording our feathered friends, or exploring the shape of clouds through monthly "Cloud Sculptures," these artists are reinterpreting clouds (and all things above) through sound.

For our April & May episodes, we've been diving into listening devices, sound sculptures, and the objects that mediate the sounds that surround us. DEVICES FOR LISTENING highlights artists who build sonic installations, deep listeners who use devices for amplification, visual artists who work with sound recordings as a material, and composers experimenting with the aesthetics of sound. This month's program features "instruments" ranging from hearing aids to clotheslines to tomato plants... and so much more!

For many, the last few months have felt hopeless. The cold & dark of winter, groundswell of totalitarianism, and regular seasonal malaise has left us straining to find anything good to hold onto. As Winter creeps towards the Spring, we’ve been seeking The Sound of Hope. Artists, musicians, and sound-based practitioners from around the world were invited to share their own interpretation of this sound, reflecting the place where their optimism resides and flourishes in an ever-expanding ripple of positive possibilities.
