What does soil sound like?

Soil is one of our most essential – yet often overlooked – resources. But what if we could not only analyze it, but also hear and experience it?

The Ensemble SOIL and soil expert Thomas Peham explore exactly this idea:
An interdisciplinary project at the intersection of contemporary music, science, and environmental awareness, making complex ecological relationships tangible through sound and performance.

Five musicians translate processes that usually remain hidden – such as soil life, biodiversity, and ecosystem interactions – into immersive sonic experiences.

The result is more than a concert:
A “performance lecture” that connects art, knowledge, and nature, opening up new perspectives on sustainability.

Especially in times of climate change and increasing pressure on natural resources, SOIL offers a powerful and inspiring approach to a key question of our future:
How do we relate to and care for the very ground we depend on?
