Listenings by Gretchen Blegen
Watch for water! are listenings that resonate with a river and its downstream. (the absence of a mouth). spending time with the Rio de las Animas Perdidas, a landscape that is both familiar and haunting to my body and lungs, I watch and listen for water. with an emphasis on language these listenings engage with tellings, re-tellings, slippages, translation and telepathy echoing past imaginings and re-imaginings of Place and context. segments of the listenings will be presented in ausland, sediments will be further developed into guided audio walks in September 2021.
Remote Viewing Reports (a telepathic channeling exchange) were developed in close exchange with and written by Catalina Insignares and Carolina Mendonça,

Soundings by Hila Lahav / 18h
Backbone Flute: Sketches for future resuscitation | for flutes, pipes and help
For all of you, whom I fancied or still do,
Treasured like icons in my soul’s catacomb,
Like a glass of wine on a festive toast
I am raising a skull full of verse.
- Vladimir Mayakovsky | Prologue from Backbone Flute 1915
(english version: Fani Schwarz)
Hila Lahav is a musician and a writer, currently living in Berlin. She plays flutes, pipes, tubes, winds and other hollow vessels, writing in mother tongues and translating into them.
