The first form of communication was not language but vibration. Listen to an audio essay featuring the biologist Juan José López and sound artist Ludwig Berger who sonify species that soon threatens to become completely extinct - if we don't listen. 

This audio essay podcast was created by the musician, writer, and Norient editor Philipp Rhensius aka Alienationist @k-lone in autumn 2023 at Klang Moor Schopfe 2023. It is part of the Online Special «Sonic Natureculture»: each piece features conversations with (and sometimes sounds by) the artists and their installations, occasionally merging with Rhensius’ own compositions and poetry.
