AGF - Haltung

The Lake Radio

Researching the evolution of listening, language and spine, I noticed the German word 'Haltung' can not be translated easily into English. you need at least 3 words: posture, stance, integrity and perhaps perseverance is in it too. Durchhalten. Hang in there. The composition is a reflection on how we can weave communities under collective dissonance on a planet under attack and exploitation. Can Frequencies reach spaces that are uncontrollable and differently organised to give humans strength, stable spines and perseverance to learn to live in coexistence with all other life forms that are part of us and nourish us. The piece was commissioned by The Lake Radio as part of our Works for Radio 2024 with support from Koda's Cultural Funds and was selected by an international jury consisting of representatives from Seydisfjordur Community Radio (IS) and Retreat Radio (SE).
