What does sound tell us about our future? Can it inspire us to think differently? Through sonic expeditions to eight landscapes in the Czech Republic and Iceland, we look for solutions to challenges facing our civilization in the area of energetics, agriculture and landscape management.

To gain new insights and knowledge, the expedition explores the environments of the Hellisheiði geothermal power plant with CarbFix underground carbon dioxide storage technology, the Búðarháls hydroelectric power plant, the Fjallsárlón glacial lagoon and the Fagradalsfjall volcano. In Czechia, the expedition visits the Tušimice coal-fired power plant, the Žarošice CO2-Spicer repository, the Kaly aquaponic farm, and the Milovice rewilding reserve.

As a part of an interdisciplinary project Future Landscapes, field-recordists Sara Pinheiro and Magnús Bergsson venture into areas filled with ambiguity and unsuspected risks. Their special sound instruments are able to capture the innermost technological processes and phenomena that our ears can’t hear.

Find out more about the project at www.futurelandscapes.eu.

The project is being realized with support of the EEA Grants.

Stereo soundscape recordings. Sometime nature, sometimes people, sometimes machinery. Sometimes quiet things like a single branch creaking in the wind on Dartmoor, sometimes odd moments in the city. Mostly local, but sometimes travelling. 

Tomáš Procházka, working under family name Federsel, is Prague based musician, improviser, sound artist and performer. He works with field recordings, media archeology, all kinds of electric and acoustic instruments as well as purely electronic systems, mostly based on analog electronics. In his solo work uses feedbacks, electromagnetic interference and various parasitic sounds. He performs no input mixing board, prepared guitar and amplified objects or works with various found media as well as instruments, usually not used the correct way. 
He is founder of theatre company HANDA GOTE research & development  
and plays with bands B4, Gurun Gurun, Federsel&Mäkelä, Wabi Experience and also performs solo under name Federsel. 
In theater, he has been doing research work in the field of post spectacular, antimimetic theater and the integration of science and technology in performing arts. 
He is founder of Wakushoppu concert series, Prague monthly meeting of non idiomatic improvizers.
On his own blog Endemit Archives he tries to collect pieces from local deep underground, freak-out, outsider music, plain-weird music, all kinds of antimusic activities and strictly-home-recording audio.
In 2014, together with his colleague Pasi Mäkelä, he launched microlabel METEORISMO, base for iconoclastic music projects.
