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 1998, the London publishing house Quartet Books published More Brilliant Than The Sun. Adventures in Sonic Fiction by Kodwo Eshun. Today, the concept of Sonic Fiction is applied in the fields of music theory, sound studies, cultural studies, experimental music, sound art and even political theory. “Sonic Fiction is a tool for anyone who wants to write about music, culture, for people passionate about club culture, artists, thinkers and activists.
Sonic fiction is not a label to be applied taxonomically, but rather a vessel that is triggered by sensations moving from the outside to the inside, objects in which music materialises”. These are the words of Holger Schulze, professor of musicology at the University of Copenhagen and coordinator of the Sound Studies Lab. In this episode of What Do Sounds Want?, together with him and Giada Della Bontà, we retrace the history of the notion of Sonic Fiction and its implications. Last but not least, we go back to Steve Goodman and his sonic fiction Astro-Darien.
