Time CapsuleHow do we truly connect with the long arc of climate change? Time Capsule offers an answer through sound. This immersive sonic performance and guided workshop translates 37 years of meticulous climate data (temperature and net radiation from the KNMI Cabauw mast, 1987-2023) into a powerful auditory journey.
Performed at La Trappe Festival, September 2024
The ExperienceOver ten minutes, audiences are enveloped in a soundscape where each sustained note embodies a year, its pitch shifting according to real-world measurements. What is usually confined to scientific reports becomes a palpable weight, a felt duration. The evolving soundscape offers a stark, intuitive reminder of the slow, persistent trajectory of environmental change.
Time Capsule invites a different kind of listening – one that bypasses abstract statistics to forge a more intimate, emotional connection with the data shaping our planet's future. It asks us to consider how we perceive change over time and how sound can deepen our understanding.
