10 Good Years

10 Good Years is an imaginative Soundwalk drawing on centrally, bioacoustics and listening to the inner life of trees. Their narrative gives the illusion of time and space slipping, extending or contracting through its soundscape composition.

10 Good Years is a collaborative project shared by Mary Edwards and Kristine Diekman, originally produced for the 2025 CENSE Beyond Listening Walking-with changes (Cross European Network for Sonic Ecologies) in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

“By walking-with and listening to the “cultural turn” toward posthumanism we contribute to a shift in understanding humanity’s place within the world, challenging human exceptionalism and dominance. By walking-with and listening we engage in embodied practices that stimulate awareness of limited planetary resources and humanity’s destructive impact, from climate change to biodiversity loss. Such practices urge us to rethink the relationships with non-human life, technology, and ecosystems, advocating for an ethical shift and interdependent approach, to inspire coexistence for more sustainable futures.”
