I intended to take a soundwalk, but ended up playing hide and seek with radiation. I might distinguish between sound and radio waves, but what about non-human agencies? Are humans colonizing the sonic environment?

Listening as Doorways to Futures is a collaborative, counter-intellectual sound collage that resists recent cultural and sociological claims that humanity is experiencing the ‘End of Imagination’. 

What if other worlds are out there, but just not visible with the current method of exploration? What if the empirical, data-driven and rigid scientific approach simply does not allow for other systems to be perceived, just as the image-centred world ignores other forms of experiencing? This artistic project aims to counter the claim of a loss of imagination and will exercise sound as a portal to different worlds by conglomerating field recordings from ten participants across the globe who aim to answer one simple question: which sounds open up doorways to futures? 

The project took place in form of two workshops with artists Chloe Kelly and Julian Willming. 
Concept: Julian Willming
Artistic Direction: Julian Willming & Chloe Kelly
Mastering: Julian Willming
