The Fermynwoods Podcast is an experimental space for the display and creation of contemporary art which is fully accessible from people’s homes. Featuring artist talks, discussions and original commissioned sound art, to complement our public facing programme. The podcast also features specially commissioned videos by Sapphire Goss‘ to accompanying and in response to each recorded episode.
Next in our new series of playlists emerging from thoughts, ideas and inspirations from Fermynwoods Podcast episodes is Avian Archives, responding to Episode 16 – Maya Livio, which featured the haunting and lyrical sonic essay Salvaging Birds, containing a chorus of both human and non-human voices through the use of AI to speculatively queer birdsong datasets.
This playlist was curated by Astrid Björklund, one half of our podcast guest curators SUBTERRA.

Feathered creatures
lies in quiet repose;
a trove of small woes
and echoes of salvaged songs.
