The New School of the Anthropocene is a radical experiment in alternative education, away from marketisation and arcane specialism towards co-sensing systems change through creative practice. This is an ecological transmission of DIY ethics, non-hierarchical structures, radical networks, interconnected sensing through sound, text, voice, spoken word, human and more-than-human collaborative practice, patchwork group thinking, and radio art.

"These ducks feel as though they are teaching me in my sleep. Their calls have infiltrated so many nights. Back in the day, I dreamed about ducks and having to drive my older sisters in a car. And then there is Duck Island which is a gated little piece of land in the middle of the pond, and it is the Garden of Eden for those ducks.

The sound piece holds a duration the sleeping listener can only partly account for. The calls drift beyond their source while entering dreams or returning as something already learned. Michel de Certeau’s The Practice of Everyday Life is also somehow in there, that the distance between what is received and what becomes of it. The calls seem to have acquired another existence, somewhere between the recorded night and its imagined place in the subconscious. Whether this familiarity belongs to hearing or dreaming, or subsequent recollection remains unresolved."

Stéphane Marin presents a weekly series of twenty soundscapes recorded in the mornings at various locations throughout South East Asia. This series forms part of a wider project, « Each Morning of the World », which invites sound artists, composers and recordists globally to share their own specific point of listening, either through a raw field recording or original composition.

This environmental audio stream is broadcasting live from the 'End of the World' glacier in Northern Italy's Stelvio National Park. The solar-powered listening station has been continuously transmitting since July 2025 from ca. 2.700 metres above sea level in the Italian Alps. We tune in daily to the glacier's cyclical sonic material life, allowing us to witness meltwater rhythms, sediment flows, avalanches, landslides, animal life and the seasonal impacts of weather and tourism entering the microphones, in real time. Elemental Foley by Lia Mazzari will be on show as a solo exhibition at Microscope Gallery in Dalston, London from 10 - 26 September 2026.

Kinderkonzert plays around and in a sculpture, a cubical of loden wool by artist Lucia Hepp. It is sort of an anti-resonant body sucking up the very echoey space. The glass pavilion is like a sound expander and, in contrast, the sculpture is almost reminiscent of a muffled recording studio and became a safe and protected chamber for the children who performed.

They play a composition by musician and contemporary art music composer Graham Waterhouse. Equinox, presented in the first half of the broadcast is a composition exploring contrasts and played by Graham himself on the cello. And then you hear Graham, Lucia and the children building up a prakticello, which is a very rare and special kind of cello. Graham and Lucia developed a cello score especially for this occasion using two of these square-shaped and completely foldable instruments together in unison.

The sculpture is a sort of enclosed stage for a musical dialogue between two prakticellos, pleasingly accompanied by the minds, ears and voices of children, who still have the ability to walk around the worlds of imagination and reality more easily, and are therefore able to connect invisible wonders invisible to the rest of us, and make us attentive to sounds which open windows.

They explored these sound chambers amidst a the extraordinary museum Insel Hombroich who hosted us.
