“CONDENSATIONS� Samuel Hertz
Excerpt of score from GUNSLINGER | Image by Samuel Hertz
Anthropo-sonic Sensuality Taking up the challenge provided by the term Anthropocene demands new approaches to sensing and engaging with complex ecosystems at non-human scales. From the expansion of automated industries to the detonations of nuclear weapons and increased instances of catastrophic weather events, the Anthropocene is an epoch of new vibrations and planetary resonances precipitated by human influence. As the capacity for understanding sounds of the Anthropocene increases, so too does the chance to further our identification with - and engender sensuality towards - this volatile Earth. Not to aestheticise anthropo-sonics, but to understand to a greater degree the trajectories and relationships that they render audible.
