Landscape Listening · Amazon · Andes · Atacama · Patagonia

This field practice brings together listening-based work developed across distinct but interconnected landscapes: the Amazon rainforest, the Andes Mountains, the Atacama Desert, and the Patagonian plateau. Rather than approaching these sites as isolated locations, the practice listens to landscape as a continuum shaped by climate, altitude, aridity, biodiversity, and geological time.

Across rainforest, mountain, desert, and plateau environments, sound reveals how life adapts to extreme and contrasting conditions. Field recordings attend to shifts in density, resonance, silence, and rhythm—tracing how sound reflects ecological constraints and forms of survival. Listening becomes a way of sensing landscape not as scenery, but as a living system structured by environmental limits and resilience.

This body of work emphasizes comparative listening across environments, allowing differences and continuities to emerge without imposing narrative. Landscape is approached as an active presence, where sound carries information about climate, material conditions, and ongoing planetary change.
