Electric Dreams: Anthropocene in C Major

‘Anthropocene in C Major’ is an experience of human impact on nature, felt through a performance that turns data into sound. Over 45 minutes we travel from 12,000 years ago to the present, hearing human breakthroughs from the invention of the wheel to the Industrial Revolution and beyond… but also inescapable data trends that tell of our exploitation of the planet, and each other. ‘Anthropocene In C Major’ provokes a response to climate change for a species paralysed by its own extractive structures. It invites us to confront and understand our own ecological grief, through the form of sonification, and within the scale of our modern existence on Earth. Music composed, produced and performed by Jamie Perera.
