EP 001: SKY
The first episode is a sonic exploration of the sky—gathering sounds, sensations, and words about the upper atmosphere and the vast expanse that arches over the Earth. The sky is a visual constant that unites our perception of being in the world, yet it is more than just visual, it is also political. A clear sky is a privilege.
In this mix, we explore all things celestial—the cosmos, God, spiritual sounds, and recordings. You will hear a recording of a child from Gaza expressing joy at seeing clear skies during the five-day truce in November 2023.
You will hear Gnawa music, melting ambient sounds, field recordings of space sound and reflections on the sky’s cultural, symbolic, political, and religious meanings.
