For Earth Month, we teamed up with Reforesters Laboratory and DJs for Climate Action (DJs4CA) for a one-time immersive performance to connect people through sound and raise climate awareness.

This newly commissioned piece, Sonic Acts of Nature, unfolded as a documentation of transformation, inviting the audience to bathe in an immersive listening environment of underground sounds.

Rooted in artist Nikki Lindt’s rarely accessible arctic soundscapes and shaped through x3butterfly’s genre-fluid practice, this sound piece traces the frequency of a warming and shifting world, where underground rhythmic vibrations reflect nature’s increased BPM. Cellist Sir Rx joined x3butterfly for a live musical current to the immersive experience.

Part DJ set, part environmental soundscape, Sonic Acts of Nature offers a space to listen closely and feel ecological shifts beyond data or language. As temperatures change and our climate evolves, so do the sounds and rhythms of nature. Glaciers melt, permafrost thaws, tundras fade while sea levels rise, rivers accelerate, and storms intensify. This is an assembly of disappearing and drifting sounds, where ecological transformation becomes audible through vibrational fragments and rhythms.
