🇵🇸 With your help we will donate 100% of the profits from Less Is Sound 2025 to Thamra – a Palestinian initiative working on food sovereignty in a time of Israel-imposed starvation in Gaza.

We live in a time when entire histories and worlds are being erased – when countless lives, both human and more-than-human*, end under the fire of fascist, terrorist and repressive regimes. The brutality of attacks in Congo, Yemen and Ukraine, the genocide of the Palestinian people, the genocide of the Rohingya in Myanmar, the Masalit in Sudan, the Uyghurs in China, and the Tigrayans in Ethiopia is not something that can be fully captured by language.

The genocide of the Palestinian people executed by the apartheid ethno-state of Israel (the first genocide streamed live to our phones) has exposed the hypocrisy of most Western leaders and much of the media – both liberal and conservative. Many multinational corporations directly profit from this apocalypse, while the governments of the US, UK, Germany, and the EU (including Slovakia) are directly complicit. And despite the ever growing public pressure, the end of this horror remains nowhere in sight. The more horrifying images we see, the more empty words and lies we hear.

Since the beginning of this project, we’ve placed great emphasis on the small, invisible, fragile, and fleeting. Even the tiniest sound has its place in the acoustic ecology.

In this spirit, we will donate 100% of this year’s profits to Thamra, an initiative working on food sovereignty during Israel-imposed starvation in Gaza.

We’re deeply grateful for your support.

Thank you.

🦔𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬: LGBTIQA+ SAFE SPACE / NO RACISM / NO SEXISM / NO HARASSMENT

🍃☀️ 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭:
tuning into the intersections of human and more-than-human worlds through concerts and sound performances that embrace the local soundscape—the rustling of the forest, birdsong, and the movement of earthworms—as compositional elements in a shared acoustic ecology.

🐚𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦
🌫️ Lénok – Phantom sound movements and their unexpected appearances
🪱 Jiří Y. Suchánek – Listening to the world of earthworms
🌿 Dorota Matejova – (De)composing a song, sound performance for traverso flute, location specific objects & movement
🧢Bolka – ???
🐇🌱 Ondrej Zajac x @petrvrba – Electroacoustic meditations at dawn chorus
++ more TBA

🍃☀️𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭
How can we respect the natural soundscape while also (co)creating with it as an equal artistic voice?
The Less Is Sound project centers on deep listening as a pathway to interspecies sensitivity.
☀️Five sound performances will amplify and modulate the sonic environments of hidden natural locations—their inherent music, often masked by the city's noise pollution or overshadowed by layers of visual stimuli.
☀️In times of the interconnected crises driven by capitalism, extractivism, and colonialism, active listening becomes both an ecological and political practice.
It requires a move beyond anthropocentrism and reveals new modes of attention rooted in slowing down and cultivating empathy.

🌱 SAVE THE DATE 🌱 Less is Sound 2025 – July 26 or 27 *– secret location. (*depending on weather settings)

Marketing: 🍃☀️ A sunrise wrapped in a soft acoustic blanket. Five new tracks where birdsong and forest rustling are equal performers.

Reality: 🐛🪱 Torture via an inhumanly early alarm, nettles, bugs, and heat in obscure and remote (yet beautiful) corners of Bratislava’s Danube floodplain forests vol.4

Calm, moisturized and thriving at the secret location on Starohajsky Island. Less is Sound 2024. This was pure magic. 💞🐞

Favourite moment: when the crowd realised 👏 would disrupt the local soundscape and rather collectively decided to shake hands in the air. 🧡💜💛
