The eye of the guest sees everything: in conversation with climate anthropologist Cymene HoweIn this episode I have an inspiring, deep and lively chat with climate anthropologist Cymene Howe. Through our various endeavours with and around Ok glacier, we dive into practises of being a good ancestor, and about the sharpness of the eye of the outsider. At the door of Easter, we enquire about death and salvation for humans and glaciers, and on the grounds of hydrofeminism we cherish the newly formed lake in which the remains of Ok (Egg) are becoming a womb for new forms of life.Join my newsletter on nefurmusic.com...2025-04-1733 minThe Glacier's Song17.

Do you know if your country has glaciers? In conversation with Marcela from Cumbres Blancas ColombiaIn preparation for the Global Glacier Sound Meditation that I am offering in celebration of the 1st World Day of Glaciers in collaboration with Cumbres Blancas, I had an inspirational conversation with Marcela Fernández, the founder of this movement that is inspiring people around the world, one country at a time, to join forces to take action for glaciers and their ecosystems from multidisciplinary angles. From our conversation sprouts a mutual understanding of glaciers as living beings with capacity to communicate to us, humans.

Rain Dancing for Glaciers: In Conversation with writer Andri Snaer MagnasonWe are in the age of magic -says writer Andri Magnason-, we are doing rain dances in the hope that our words and our music will spread around the planet and influence our behaviour, our laws, our creativity, our consumption… in a way that we will harm the glaciers less or even save them.
Writer Andri Snaer Magnason has the power to stir your imagination to infinite corners of thought and thread them together in a train of clear, intelligible ideas.

Don't miss on the living archive of our laughter when Yin and I first connected in Berlin. It will be contagious, and it may be what we need right now.
According to Píndola Estés, "laughter is a hidden side of women's sexuality, it is physical, elemental, passionate, vitalising, and therefore arousing. It is a sexuality th...2024-11-0658 minThe Glacier's Song12.

I couldn't be there although I would have loved to. I hiked Ok in 2021 as part of my project to listen, sing and record with glaciers, and it was one of the most transformational experiences of my life.

Collective Vocal Performance with Snaefellsjökull Glacier: Can You Imagine a Glacier as President?This episode is to stir up your imagination and ask you, through a collective vocal performance with Snaefellsjökull Glacier in Iceland, if you can imagine glaciers, rivers and forests as representatives of nations: as Presidents. I am proudly part of a campaign happening right now in Iceland to nominate Snaefellsjoküll glacier for President. How would it feel that each country votes for a glacier, river, sea or forest for President, establishing in reciprocity special attention, love, protection & guardianship?

There are no words in this episode, just intuitive, soothing singing recorded on Langjökull glacier (Iceland) in April 2023.
My memory of performing intuitive singing in Langjökull glacier is one of articulating brushstrokes of sound in the midst of the most majestic and pure silence.
Listening to the live recording taken through sensitive microphones, I realised that recording even in the most remote, quiet landscapes on Earth, there is always the emergence of a distant buzz of motorised human activity, at so...2023-12-2908 minThe Glacier's Song5.

The Glacier's Song4. Love overflow. Surrender, love is a waterfallIt is from alchemising darkness that we reach the light.
Let yourself be whispered along about a journey into self-love and confidence, about finding strength in vulnerability, about the power of pleasure and its role in healing the Earth and about the glorious feeling of love overflow that makes me feel I finally arrived home within my soul.
Let yourself explore your own definition of love.
I hope you find it inspiring.

On trust and feminine energy, from an erupting volcanoBodies of fire and bodies of water share an endless dance that shapes the land. Volcanoes are under most glaciers in Iceland, and sometimes they open up the Earth surface with tongues of fire giving birth to new land, like the new volcanic eruption in Fagradalsfjall, Litli Hrútur, from which I am talking to you in this episode.

Nature, Sound and the EroticThe connection between nature, sound and the erotic is something I am exploring both in my life and in my new music. In this episode, recorded next to a waterfall in East Iceland, I unveil my own definitions of the erotic as personal and collective power. You will also dive into the sensuality of the sounds of water through poetry and listening to the stream that was behind me while recording this episode.
