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.

Life Chronicles of Dorothea Ïesj S.P.U. investigates the link between data capitalism, technology, and value creation, reflecting on the use of archaeological artifacts, archives, and memory as instruments of power and control: what happens when everything, every surface and object can record us? When we are subject to a pervasive acoustic surveillance?
Well, this is not exactly 100% science fiction. It is not something to worry about in the future. This is real. The datafication of our bodies is real and this datafication affects identity formation and as individuals come to perceive themselves and others through the lens of data.
To better understand how people and their digital data make each other, and to single out the relation between data, sound, recording and listening practices, we’ve spoken with sociologist Deborah Lupton, author of books such as The Quantified Self or Data Selves, and with Columbia University lecturer Audrey Amsellem, who’s been writing a great deal about sound and surveillance.
