As a collaboration between Norient and the festival Klang Moor Schopfe, this Norient Online Special gathers artistic practices reflecting the complex sonic entanglements of human cultures, the environment, and non-human worlds. The series of audio essays consisting of artist interviews, field recordings from the unique landscape of the Hochmoor of Gais, poetry, and compositions, invite experiencing the often unrecognized musicality of the world(s) in which humans are only one among many composers. Launched in 2019, this Online Special will be continuously expanded. Curated by Philipp Rhensius.
