We Only Want The Earth: Episode 1
We Only Want The Earth: Once Heard You Can't Unhear It
In episode one of the series, Karen Power describes how recording the sounds of our changing world has shaped her music. Presenter Jonathan Grimes joins composer and sound artist Robert Coleman on a soundwalk in the Belfast hills. Natalia Beylis, Ian Wilson and Gráinne Mulvey share how profoundly climate change is affecting them and influencing their work at local and global levels, and we ask if music can move us to positive action with Judith Ring. Featuring contributions from musicologist Stephen Graham and composers Éna Brennan, Nick Roth and Jennifer Walshe.
