"Scrying" is the act of gazing into an object – a pool of dark water, a mirror or painted black glass – with the hope of detecting visions or messages. It's a psychic attunement into one’s second sight, revealing knowledge often concealed. 
Ascribing this ocular practice to the potentially mystical nature of deep listening, Scrying the Landscape narrates sonic fictions, revealing hidden truths, auditory fantasies and deceptive hallucinations.  
Here, we converse with ghosts from the past or cybernetic entities arriving from the future, transversing a terrain that is both virtual and physical, expanding the ear into a speculative endeavour.👂🔮🍂

Scrying the Landscape w. Elina Tapio & Hannah Pezzack. The uncanny haunts these encounters. ‘Scrying' is the act of gazing into an object to ignite the unconscious mind. It’s a psychic attunement into one’s second sight, revealing knowledge often concealed. Hannah Pezzack and Elina Tapio ascribe this ocular practice to the potentially mystical nature of Deep Listening. In the landscape, through ecologically-charged compositions, they hear sentient slime mould, oceans of language-bearing micro-plastics and cybernetic entities arriving from the future.

Scrying The Landscape w. Elina Tapio And Hannah Pezzack [02.04.2021]

We’re happy to welcome Elina Tapio and Hannah Pezzack with the new show Scrying the Landscape.
Tree roots fuse to the cracks of pavements, spores germinate. In the compost, tracing the spiral bodies of animates, Elina Tapio (@elinatapio) and Hannah Pezzack (@hanapezzack) present a love song to growth and (re)generation. Here, molecularized textures of sound sing back – splintered voices in dissonance utter forms of hallucinogenic glossolalia. The second instalment of 'Scrying the Landscape' features Turner Prize winner, Tai Shani's (@taishani) The Neon Hieroglyph (2021), a composition inspired by ergot, a fungus that grows on rye and other grains from which LSD is derived.

Scrying The Landscape II w. Elina Tapio & Hannah Pezzack [28.05.2021]

Scrying the Landscape III w. Elina Tapio & Hannah Pezzack
Flowing, seeping, leaking, cascading, shaping, 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘥. Displaced from terrestrial-based ways of knowing, Elina Tapio (@elinatapio), together with Hannah Pezzack (@hanapezzack), plunges into oceanic depths. Immersed in this alien milieu, the weight and opacity of water transmogrify perception. To the human ear, noises appear muffled, foggy. But sound waves actually travel five times faster underwater than in air. Far from being a silent abyss, waterways are cacophonous: an orchestra of barnacles, sonorous wails and echoes.
The third instalment of 'Scrying the Landscape' features Markus J. Buehler (@profbuehlermit) and Jenna Sutela's (@jennasutela)𝘞𝘦𝘵-𝘰𝘯-𝘞𝘦𝘵 (2021), a sonic toolkit amplifying the emotive molecules of liquids. For 𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘐𝘤𝘦 (2020) Hannah Rowan (@rowanhannah) utilised a hydrophone to capture ancient air bubbles – pockets of planetary deep time – escaping from melting icebergs. And synthesist Stan Litjens' (@todaysstan) 𝘙𝘦𝘸𝘢𝘵 (2021) is an ambient interlude composed of field recordings; the lull of rocking boats and seabirds.

Scrying The Landscape III w. Elina Tapio And  Hannah Pezzack [28.07.2021]

Scrying the Landscape IV w/ Elina Tapio & Hannah Pezzack!
For Freudian analysts, dreaming of horses is a sign of a phallic fixation – a symbol of carnal, unbridled desire. In 1973, Peter Shaffer published Equus, a play about a young man whose pathological obsession with the creatures drives him into mania: from erotic fascination to violent possession. Yet for feminist writers like Elspeth Probyn, the act of riding embodies euphoric lines of flight. Stables are distinctly feminine spaces in which women and girls form close bonds with each other, and with their equestrian companions. The fourth episode of Scrying the Landscape is inspired by a trip Elina Tapio and Hannah Pezzack took together to Oostvaarders National Park in the Netherlands. There, the wild Konik horse – descendants of the extinct Tarpan - has been introduced to roam through this fenced territory. Indebted to this re-wilding experiment, the biopolitics of species scarcity and Celtic rituals, they present a soundscape of horse music; pagan folk, experimental noise and Welsh choral singing.

Scrying The Landscape w. Elina Tapio And Hannah Pezzack [29.09.2021]

First up we have Scrying the Landscape w. Elina Tapio & Hannah Pezzack
Glossolalia is the act of speaking in tongues; a spiritual encounter whereby a mysterious entity infects the body with an alien language. For the fifth iteration of Scrying the Landscape, Elina Tapio (@elinatapio) and Hannah Pezzack (@hanapezzack) take the voice as their focus, gathering songs together which activate a neural network of vocal intelligence that is non-linear and non-grammatical. Words devoid of meaning, devotional chants and spliced-up utterances, are harnessed to connect with hidden parts of the world and ourselves, to reveal that which cannot be given an identity. How do we talk about what we don’t see? How do we understand that which cannot be said? The divine is pre-alphabetic; the ineffable that is a priori to signification or the arrangement of a symbolic order. Forsaking direct linguistic capacities opens space for interpreting pressure points; temporal turbulence in phonetic structures, and the attack of vocalisation to articulate that which can not be articulated.

Scrying the Landscape X w. Loma Doom!
Sirens. Mermaids. The Nereides sisters. Throughout mythology, there have been watery women seducing sailors to their deaths with the sweetness of their songs. In a special takeover of Scrying the Landscape, Loma Doom (@loma_doom) reimagines their enchanting voices, not as an aural danger symbolic of destructive sexual temptation, but as harmonious beings in their own right. Her mix glides through the sonorous beauty of women singing together, their voices full of longing, loneliness and desire. 

Recorded live at the Radio Tempo Não Pára studios, Amsterdam.

Hejira - I Don't Belong To Anyone [Lay Rework] (STW Premiere)

<a href='http://www.espaces-sonores.com/stphane-marin-eng'>Stéphane Marin</a> presents a weekly series of fifteen short soundscapes recorded in the mornings at various locations throughout East Asia. This series for Resonance Extra forms part of a wider project, 'Each Morning of the World', which invites sound artists, composers and recordists globally to share their own specific point of listening, either through a raw field recording or original composition.

In this episode, 'Moganshan Lu Pile Driver' Terence Lloren. 

"My favourite recording from my time in Shanghai, and one that's representative of my experience of the city during the past decade. It was recorded at M50, an old factory complex that had been converted into artists' studios and gallery. 

I was showing my friend around that day and there was this tremendous sound. Each thump rattled the glass in the old windows and shook the ground. We explored a little and found a high vantage point to witness the reinforcement of the bank along Suzhou Creek, with a new row of piles not 30 meters from where we stood. 

We stood there mesmerized with the violent rhythm. Notice the echolocation-like effect of the hits bouncing from the glass buildings across the river. Creating space with a non-visual medium."

[Terence Lloren] (http://www.bivouacrecording.com)

Terence Lloren is originally from Virginia, USA, but has lived in Shanghai for the past thirteen years. When he is not out in the field recording, he runs a record label, Bivouac Recording, showcasing experimental musicians. He releases shis own material through the label also. The projects are *audio documentaries* that focus on capturing non-visual aspects of humanity like culture, language, and biophilia.

East Asia PhoNographic Mornings #18 - Terence Lloren 'Moganshan Lu Pile Driver' - Sunday 10th May 2020

<a href='http://www.espaces-sonores.com/stphane-marin-eng'>Stéphane Marin</a> presents a weekly series of fifteen short soundscapes recorded in the mornings at various locations throughout East Asia. This series for Resonance Extra forms part of a wider project, 'Each Morning of the World', which invites sound artists, composers and recordists globally to share their own specific point of listening, either through a raw field recording or original composition.

In this episode, 'Bayankhongorijn Khukh Nuur' by Patrick Franke. 

"In 2013 I took part in an expedition to Central Mongolia. I was focussing on sound recordings to clarify the taxonomic status of some species based on bioacoustics or even to make first ever recordings."

Amongst other places we went to an alpine area surrounding the lake Bayankhongorijn Khukh Nuur. As days during expeditions are usually very packed, time for recordings of the general soundscape or even enjoying that just by listening is very limited. Thus, this excerpt of an one hour recording is a rather rare exception.

My aim was to document the soundscape of this particular spot after capturing vocalisations of most of it's inhabitants discretely. Furthermore this recording of a sparsely populated habitat should scrutinise Bernie Krauses 'acoustic niche' theory which is mostly based on data from densely populated habitats."
