‘The Last Songs of Gaia’, BBC Radio 4
30 June 2020
In the last year, the scale of the climate and wildlife crises has been laid bare by scientists around the globe. A frightening number of species are falling silent as a result. How are the world’s musicians, sound artists and poets responding?
On 30 June 2020, Jana Winderen appears on a new BBC Radio 4 series, The Last Songs of Gaia, presented by Verity Sharp and produced by Chris Elcombe for Reduced Listening. Sharp journeys underwater into a soundworld that even the most dedicated experts know relatively little about. 90% of the oceans’ species are still unclassified, let alone recorded.
