The artist and curator explores the extinction of natural sounds in our earth’s biospheres with selections of works from his ongoing project, Fragments of Sonic Extinction. Tracks span the extinction of birds, eyewitnesses of hurricanes and the illegal hunting of black rhinos in east Africa from Lea Bertucci, Mishka Henner, DUMA and more.

FOSE is an ongoing research project initiated by German-Bulgarian artist and curator Kalas Liebfried demonstrating a subjective approach towards the extinction of natural sounds, focusing on the sonic character of the process of extinction along with its relationship to a variety of cultural histories and global catastrophes related to the anthropocene. The project presents commissions by artists dedicated to the perilous or extinct nature of specific species and attempts to negotiate their sonic perspectives and environments. The 8-track release is presented as an interactive website (www.sonicextinction.net) where each track and its description will be revealed from May 1-12, as well as a full day showcase event in Munich at ZIRKA SPACE on May 13th. The goal of this project is to create valuable impulses for the emergence of ecological awareness through the use of immersion in and sensitivity to sonic perspectives through the creation of sustainable cultural artefacts, which pay close attention to the catastrophes taking place in biospheres.
