BELLWETHER: sounds at the edge of foreseeable futures

A bellwether is an omen, soothsayer, or predictor of the future. For our September episode of EARS HAVE EYES, we’re responding to the changing seasons through an exploration of anticipation, anxiety, and sound as an agent of foreshadowing for things to come. From climate anxiety to rising waters, unidentified noises to literal bells, local, national, and international sound artists joined us in interpreting Bellwethers for today’s program.

ARTISTS:
Alexandra Spence
