Edge Of A Forest - Meditation On Sars-Cov-2

Antoine Bertin weaves together field recordings and sonifications of data he collects around the world. Wandering in its own meditative way on the edge of science, technology and sound, the radio show explores where forests begin and when they end. From listening to the DNA of plants in Japan, to the seismic data of the Stromboli volcano or the movements of rivers in Alaska, The Edge of the Forest seeks to share sensations and ideas that inform our understanding of the natural world, humans included. This episode of The Edge of the Forest was recorded during lockdown in Paris. The RNA sequence of the coronavirus was translated into sound to create a meditation on the hidden musicality of the virus and the sounds revealed by the absence of human activity in the streets.
