Jana Winderen interviewed by Y-Jean Mum-Delsalle for tlmagazine.com

In a mix for Resident Adviser and marking World Oceans Day, Jana Winderen explores the marginal ice zone with a live broadcast of nautical field recordings, her own productions and some insight into her process. It was made by Simone Merli / Concentric Records in collaboration with TBA21–Academy.

‘The Oslo-based Norwegian artist, Jana Winderen, champions the well-being of the planet through her immersive soundscapes.’ An interview by Y-Jean Mun-Delsalle for Forbes.

Jana’s contribution to BBC Radio 3’s ‘Between the Ears’ series, Listening to the Deep – a documentary hosted by Winderen and produced by Jack Howson – is available to stream on BBC Sounds. Recordist and host: Jana Winderen. Dog: Charlie. Contributors: Madeline Appiah, Carlos Duarte, Hans Slabbekoorn, Rungrueng Ramanyah / รุ่งเรือง ระหมันยะ (Bang Nee.

‘So schädigt Unterwasserlärm die Gesundheit vieler Tierarten. Schiffsverkehr, Rammarbeiten, Munitionstests – der Unterwasserlärm in den Meeren ist stellenweise gewaltig. Viele Tierarten, wie z.B. der Schweinswal oder der Schnabelwal, leiden unter dem Lärm. Meeresbiolog*innen wollen die Lärmbelastung in den Ozeanen reduzieren.’

A two part series hosted by Chris Watson exploring the interface between the art, science, and rhythms under the surface of the largest and most sound-rich environment on the planet—the seas and oceans. This freq_wave podcast connects bioacoustics with on-line compositional techniques, and cutting-edge environmental monitoring with an international collection of celebrated artists. As TBA21–Academy director Markus Reymann suggests: log on, choose an ocean, and dive in! Contributors in order of appearance: Lawrence English, Jana Winderen, Leah Barclay and Markus Reymann.

With writer Garret Keizer, who is interested in the social and economic dimensions of noise; sound artist Jana Winderen who records sounds made by underwater creatures; and Cambridge Professor of English Steven Connor who focuses on the “ums, ahs, ohs, and ahems”, expressive language noises that are often dismissed as marginal or trivial.

About the programme:

“I veckans program gör vi snöänglar med svenska duon Skare, pratar kontaktmikrofoner med amerikanske Eric Holm, diskuterar hur en glaciär som smälter låter med norska ljudkonstnären Jana Winderen och så undersöker vi hur mycket det egentligen snöar i Rom – där Alessandro Tedeschi driver ett skivbolag som har specialiserat sig på snö, is och elektroniska ljud.

I en tid när glaciärer smälter och vintrarna blir varmare och i princip snöfria håller ljudet av snö och is på att bli sällsynta. I veckans Elektroniskt i P2 möter du några som älskar den kalla årstiden - och framförallt ljudet av den. Men de är också engagerade i miljöfrågor och vill säga något med sin musik och ljudkonst. Det blir intervjuer med duon Skare (Per Åhlund och Mathias Josefson), Eric Holm - som skapade ett av förra årets vackraste album genom att sätta kontaktmikrofoner på ledningsstolpar långt upp i norr, Jana Winderen som är specialiserad på field recordings. Dessutom ringer vi upp”
