Our host for this episode, the selekta herself, Mariam, shares various pieces of music and sound that are somehow related to nature.

Her first selections are from artist Andrew Bird, for whom nature serves as the recording space. For artists Chris Watson and Jana Winderen, nature is the subject of the recording itself as a tool for environmental activism. For Aaron Parks and Aki Rissanen, nature is the inspiration for their music. Finally, for Charlie Parker, nature is a parallel to his own personality as a musician.

1. Andrew Bird - Echolocations - Canyon - 06 Before The Germans Came
