Echo of Species
Declaration
The contemporary environmental issues we face - pollution, global warming, extinction of species, etc. - are insufficiently expressed and conceptualised in the musical world, despite the fact that many artists have strong ecological convictions. Echo of Species is a place where they will take turns, each contributing a chapter to this deep listening story, by grasping climate urgency and proposing their artistic vision, without boundaries. A podcast series where each episode features an artist's unique selection of music interlaced with spoken words about the ecological collapse, from speeches, archives or recordings. The musical atmosphere can broadly be defined as experimental, from a wide spectrum of classical, ambient, psychedelic & electronic music styles. The artists help to craft the line-up and participate in the curation process. Like a relay race, they will pass the baton of conscience onto the next composer, thereby adding an element of unknown to the collection. The musician takes on the role of a trans-disciplinary agent of change, touching upon the feelings and emotions of the listener. Our aim is to ease the emotional bond between ourselves and nature. Through the eyes of these artists and their aesthetic response to the irreversible sixth mass extinction, we aspire to drive the catalyst that may prick our collective consciousness. Let's dive into this creative emulation and question ourselves. The clock is ticking.
