leeways #4: Where Improvisation Intersects with the Rights of Nature – Tempoception: Improvisation, Poetics, Ecosystems

The Book is a multi-year improvisatory collaboration between Joe Sorbara (percussionist, Canada), Matthias Mainz (pianist, Germany), and Angela Snæfellsjökuls Rawlings (interdisciplinarist, Iceland). Working through sound, poetics, and ecosystems, their collaboration is contingent on attunement with planetary boundary tipping points, which govern their wellnesses, locations, travel potential, sociolegal realities, and politicised bodies. The trio explores the meeting-space between human and non-human time-conceptions which may activate a tempoception sense-ability within musicmaking-as-relations-as-communication.
