WHAT DO SOUNDS WANT is a podcast about sound, or better yet, about listening through a series of questions and intuitions Radio Papesse and ALMARE have shared while working together on Life Chronicles of Dorothea Ïesj S.P.U., a sci-fi film & audio novel written and directed by ALMARE.
Life Chronicles of Dorothea Ïesj S.P.U. narrates the many adventures of researcher Dorothea, as she extracts – and smuggles – sound finds from the past. It investigates the link between data capitalism, technology, and value creation, reflecting on the use of archaeological artefacts, archives, and memory as instruments for power and control. Throughout the episodes of this podcast series, with the help of artists, scholars, and researchers, we will attempt to unfold the themes behind the film. It will be an intense journey, moving between listening practices as tools to shape the world (or our perception of it), the socio-political economy of sound and data, questions about sonic fiction and sonic weapons.
We’d like to invite you to challenge how you listen, and most of all… to enjoy the ride. We’ll be accompanied by guests including Brandon LaBelle, Juliette Volcler, Aura Satz, Steve Goodman, Reem Shadid, Giada Dalla Bontà, Holger Schulze, Deborah Lupton and Audrey Amsellem.
This podcast is part of Life Chronicles of Dorothea Ïesj S.P.U., a project by ALMARE curated by Radio Papesse, promoted in collaboration with Timespan and produced thanks to the support of the Italian Council – a program to promote Italian art by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Culture, Fondazione CR Firenze and Fondazione CRT.

In the audio-fiction Life Chronicles of Dorothea Ïesj S.P.U., the protagonist is the recipient of a scholarship financed by the powerful organisation Societas Paleoacusticæ Universalis, better known as the S.P.U., and other private financiers linked to the war industry. Dorothea deals mostly with sound artefacts related to 20th century military actions, such as those mentioned in Sonic Warfare, a book in which Steve Goodman focused his studies on the liminal areas of sound perception and the many ways sound can affect the body.
The second episode of What Do Sounds Want deals with what happens when sound is used as a weapon; we discuss this with Steve Goodman, who himself is a scholar, musician and DJ known as Kode9, founder of the historic Hyperdub label and author of Sonic Warfare, along with the artist Aura Satz, who in her project Preemptive Listening investigates the way we relate to emergency sound signals. The episode closes by listening to Sonic Weapons from Latin America by the artist Ananda Costa.
