Reimagining Our Aural Relationships
(Reimagining Our Aural Relationships)
r.o.a.r. is a sound-based artistic research project exploring the connections between ecology, community, and listening. Founded by majó and ili Os, r.o.a.r. investigates how sound can be a medium for understanding, preserving, and reshaping our relationships with natural environments and the communities that inhabit them.
Through field recordings, sonic ecology, live performance, and radio art, r.o.a.r. creates immersive soundscapes that give voice to landscapes and the people connected to them.
Their work often takes the form of deep maps—sonic compositions that blend environmental recordings, oral histories, and live manipulation to craft a multidimensional experience of place. With a focus on rivers, borders, and shifting soundscapes, r.o.a.r. documented and amplified the voices of endangered ecosystems and cultural narratives, fostering new ways of listening to the world around us.
