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...

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. Glaciers speak to all of us through metaphor - ‘glaciers melt...

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...

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?

2024-01-2533 minThe Glacier's Song6. Nine minutes of intuitive singing with Langjökull Glacier, IcelandListen to this episode with headphones, close your eyes and relax :)
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...

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.
