Subkutan: Hippocampus and seagrass - discussion of an audiopiece

“The Second the Water Wets Your Face, Reflexes of Your Aquatic Ancestors Kick In” is an audio piece that invites listeners on a sensory journey where they get the chance to smell their own brains, do a backflip in an egg yolk, or relax in an infinite bed of seaweed. With this piece, the artists Erica Van Loon and Daniel Steiner have created a unique soundscape which, thanks to its ASMR character, allows you to travel through your own body and blur the boundaries between human and environment.In an interview with Alix Regenass, they talk about how they recorded their digestion with microphones, developed their own language for sound and finally what immersive soundscapes have to do with empathy.
