Mycelium of Sound

The sonic worlds we inhabit reveal societal values and offer insights into the health of our planet. Each sound tells a story. This collection of sounds reveals an interconnected, changing world. Earthly interactions design its sound. The installation includes 24 channels of audio, each with independent volume control, enabling visitors to create their own mixes. What do we want our world to sound like? What sounds are getting lost in the mix? How can we strike a balance?

The sounds included in the installation were selected based on bioacoustics and climate research. The field recordings were created by Kinokophone as well as contributing artists from different countries. Learn more about each recording and the artists behind them here.

Kinokophone’s Mycelium was supported by the *This Is Not A Drill* program on technology, the climate emergency, equity, and creative practice, Tisch School of the Arts | New York University.

Kinokophone would like to thank all of the artists who contributed their beautiful recordings to this work. Our connections with you are another example of a mycelium of sound! Kinokophone also thanks Stephen J Kaldon, A.M. Alpin, Kristel Baldoz, Shawn Jacobus, and Liz Verrelli for their support.
