Summary
We're experimenting with bringing you a new kind of Future Ecologies bonus content: casual, conversational interviews that go behind the scenes of some of the content on the main feed.
In this first edition, our guest is Jonathan Kawchuk: composer, sound artist, and volunteer paleontologist. Jonathan's work is in both FE4.10 Geopoetics and the Emergence Magazine piece we recently featured: When the Earth Started to Sing — music in the former, and paleo-soundscapes in the latter.
We discuss Jonathan's technical and creative process — assembling reconstructed choruses of ancient soundmakers (Parasaurolophus and Permostridulus), and creating music in conversation with the Rocky Mountains — as we nerd out on sound production and paleo art.
Pay what you can – as little as a $1 per month – to get this behind-the-scenes episode, exclusive early releases of our main feed, and our whole back catalogue of bonus content.
