Ear to the Earth

How can sound help us better understand our environment and engage in today’s critical ecological issues? The Ear to the Earth festival kicks up the volume of the earth’s sonic life with concerts, installations, public art, and panel discussions that explore our interaction with natural and man-made worlds through sound. We speak with sound artists Laurie Spiegel and David Dunn.
