Sonic project uncovers resonance and responsibility in listening to Indigenous ecological knowledge of pines, indicating a new archival practice.
A Sonic Counter-Cartography of Eastern White Pines approaches listening as a spatial, relational, and political condition. Through field recording, biosonification, and generative soundscape composition, the project listens with Eastern White Pines across the Northeastern United States, cultivating immersive listening as an emergent archival practice. Sonic encounters register entanglements of Indigenous ecological knowledge, colonial extraction, enslavement, and ongoing climate crisis. Rather than mapping territory, the work composes counter-cartographies of resonance, latency, and loss. Beyond listening as perception, sound operates as situated knowing – reorienting how place and memory are held, and how responsibility is sensed. keywords:
