Welcome Home Everybody!

In this episode, the second of two which have been created as part of HomeSounds ‘Lessons from Listening’ series, Martin talks with Ximena Alarcon, a sound artist-researcher interested in listening and sounding human sonic migrations, and experiencing the resonances left in between the borders we cross when we tune in and meet others across distant locations.

Throughout her career, Ximena has created what she calls telematic sonic improvisations and interfaces for relational listening, in order to understand migratory experience from a sensory perspective. 

Our conversation explores Ximena’s work, the points of connection between this and HomeSounds, and the subtle power of listening to cross physical borders, cultural context, political circumstance and personal experience.
