What if the maps we’ve been using to make sense of the world…are no longer capable of guiding us?

What if the future no longer works ?

In this immersive audio essay, I’m taking you on a spiralling journey through the unraveling terrain of modernity.

Naming the deep violence coded into its dominant logics, and inviting us to compost the spoiled maps that have brought us to this moment of planetary crisis.

From Gaza to the dance floor, from ocean devastation to AI-fuelled destruction, this is a raw, heartfelt, and unflinching exploration through grief, complicity, beauty, and the possibility of regeneration.

It’s not tidy.

It’s not performative.

It’s not hopeful in the superficial sense.

But it is deeply alive.

A sonic rambling.

More like a sonic compost heap.

One for the headphones.

🌿 Themes We Move Through:

🗺️ Spoiled maps and violent logics of modernity

💣 Silence, complicity, and the normalisation of harm

🌊 Ocean destruction and the illusion of human separation

🎧 Capitalism on the dance floor: from music to militarisation

🔥 Response-ability and composting grief into action

💙 A Rebellion of the Heart, and remembering the operating system of life
