Ears Have Eyes

In celebration of the 2 year anniversary of our show, we recorded a special live-to-tape episode of EARS HAVE EYES with a live studio audience! Listeners brought pillows and a blanket, and sprawled on the floor for a dreamy Listening Party at the historic Eau Claire & Bow River Lumber Company. Sound artists, experimental musicians, and auditory explorers spun a tapestry of sonic experiments for the enjoyment of our ears & inner eyes.

This month’s theme is NEW GREEN: shifting, sprouting, shy & splendorous. Tied to EARS HAVE EYES’ ongoing relationship with synaesthesia and the colour of sound, NEW GREEN references the hopeful optimism for a Spring ahead, while playfully implicating more subversive narratives, from “new money” to March’s ultimate – if obnoxious – green event, St. Patrick’s Day.

DEEP DREAM, DARK WEB converges at the intersection of artistry and artificial intelligence, exploring the multifaceted landscape where machine-generated sounds echo the complex contours of our technological zeitgeist. In this auditory odyssey, we journey through a sonic realm where the binary boundaries between human creativity and machine ingenuity dissolve into a symphony of digital musings. By featuring AI-generated artworks and computer-composed soundscapes, this program encapsulates the evolving dialogue between humanity and its technological progeny. Join us as we navigate the labyrinthine echoes of this brave new world, where the symphony of machines and the melody of humanity converge, creating a tapestry of sound that resonates with both the harmony and dissonance of our shared future.”

Late Autumn in Calgary is like a dream, floating in between the hard glittering whiteness of wintertime and grey, nebulous days of Fall. Nights grow longer towards the Hibernal Solstice, and mammals feel a natural pull towards sleep. Normally, as people, we balance our mammalian impulses against human responsibilities, but this month’s episode of EARS HAVE EYES invites you to give in, to lay in the dark and fall into a waking slumber as sound artists guide you into R.E.M.... RAPID EAR MOVEMENT. Dream with us.

As human beings, MOUTH SOUNDS are our main phonic interface for communicating through language. The works on this month's program navigate foreign tongues, deconstruct syntax, amplify verboten radio vocalizations, analyze the multiple meanings of singing to babies, and remix the essential sounds of words. Joyful, political, and curious, please join us for an auditory adventure responding to one of our primary forms of expression.

PHONOSTALGIA conjures memories of other times and places using sound as a sensory trigger. What happens when the sounds of another’s nostalgia summon new images in your own head? As Autumn sweeps across the landscape, pulling leaves from the trees and tucking the foothills into bed for the Winter ahead, we’re centring our show around the gentle telekinesis of other people’s memories, delivered by sound into your ears & minds.

This is FOREST PERSPECTIVE: Part 2.

In North America, it’s been a Summer of smoke, evacuations, and loss – not just for people, but for entire ecosystems. Wildfires are a natural forest cleansing process, but the type of wildfires we’re seeing in our carbon-superheated world are faster, hotter, and more pervasive than ever before. In acknowledgement of July as the hottest month ever recorded in human history, this month’s radio program invited local, national, and international sound artists to reflect on the non-human perspectives of forests.

FOREST PERSPECTIVE asks: how can we learn to think on the micro and macro scales of the forest, to prioritize the perspective of our non-human kin? Can radio be used as a tool for rewilding, building empathy and action between human listeners and the forests that surround, touch, and sustain us?

In Western Canada, like so many parts of the Northern Hemisphere, smoke from nearby wildfires intermittently fills the sky, painting the sun electric pink. In acknowledgement of the hottest July on record, this month’s radio program invited artists to reflect on the non-human perspectives of forests.

What does it mean to think like a tree? To sway in unison with the wind and breath unwanted toxins from the air? To gather and chart histories through carbon? To touch and share nutrients by networks of mycelium, running like gossamer threads through the mysterious underground places of the forest? What does it mean to house animals and tree forts? To be cut down for lumber or catch fire and burn…

In a broader sense, this episode of EARS HAVE EYES asks: can radio be used as a tool for rewilding? For planting seeds of sound to build empathy and action between human listeners and the forests that surround, touch, and sustain us?

This is FOREST PERSPECTIVE: Part 1. Part 2 will air on the second Wednesday of September, 2023.

SOUND DEATH // Part 2 draws from endangered, delicate, and increasingly rare sounds, soundscapes, and ideas. Some works on today’s program are related to human death and decomposition; others focus on overbreeding, extinction, fictional field recordings, and mythical explorations of sleep as a death-like (and yet, life-like) state of being.

You can listen to Part 1 of SOUND DEATH by visiting our website: www.hibernationproject.ca.

This month, we're featuring an interview with Danish sound artist Jacob Kirkegaard, as well as work from Fragments of Sonic Extinction (FOSE) www.fragmentsofsonicextinction.net.

This month, we're featuring work from Fragments of Sonic Extinction (FOSE) a group exhibition in Munich, Germany and an interactive website. FOSE explores the extinction of natural sounds, focusing on the sonic character of the extinction process and its relationship with cultural histories and global catastrophes related to the anthropocene. The curators commissioned eight new works from artists across the globe, presented live for an exhibition in Munich this May, and released on a multimedia website you can access from home: www.sonicextinction.net. This episode features an interview with the co-curators, Kalas Liebfried (Munich) and Laura Margaret Ramsey (Toronto).

This is Part 1 of SOUND DEATH. Next month, we'll be returning to the subject
