Sounds of the Soil™ Where the Inner Soil Speaks
The soil beneath us remembers. The soil within us answers.
Sounds of the Soil™ is the musical heartbeat of Light of the Soil™ — where outer soil biology and inner soil renewal meet in one living rhythm.

Every song in Sounds of the Soil™ is created during a real Whole System Wellness journey: a founder fighting through years of exhaustion, pain, insomnia, and emotional shutdown, and slowly reclaiming strength, breath, circulation, clarity, and purpose.

As the inner soil heals, the music changes. Beats, melodies, and lyrics begin to echo the same patterns we see in healthy soil: rhythm, balance, cycles of breakdown and rebirth, and a quiet but powerful memory of everything that has come before.

Sounds of the Soil™ is not just a soundtrack.
It is the voice of the system itself — the moment when microbes, memory, movement, and hope begin to speak the same language.

Life in the Soil brings you the insights and voices of some of the world’s best soil scientists. Learn about soil biodiversity, why it matters, and how we can protect it. 

This podcast project is a collaboration between the Rillig Lab and podcaster Anja Krieger, funded through the BiodivERsA project Digging Deeper.

Matthias Rillig’s lab at Freie Universität Berlin is part of the Institute of Biology and the Berlin-Brandenburg Institute of Advanced Biodiversity Research (BBIB). Our research focus is on soil ecology and global change biology, with most people in the lab working on fungi.
