New release, TRIGA TAIGA – Mad sun rising.
Instruction for action “Mad Sun Rising” by TRIGA TAIGA, how to.
No AGI inside, music for humans.
TRIGA TAIGA works with machines that work against machines, broken machines, machines that have gone astray, machines that are on the run and are captured. An acoustic fusion kitchen. A hot pot full of sounds.
It gets even wilder, but later. So stay tuned and make something nice.
Mastered according to traditional 90s knowledge to be played at full volume on space stations, private yachts, business jets, yoga studios and dark cellars a.o. But also suitable for headphones, for those who don’t want it any other way. Pump up the volume and smile, your neighbors will love it !

“Floating Islands – Vanishing Worlds Series”
Climate change movement.
My question is, what are the movement options have ecosystems that live on an island to deal with climate change. You could leave the island, plants and animals can move. Forests on land masses can change location. On an island, it’s a little more complicated. Species have adapted to these specific, local conditions.
Plants could leave an island with the animals and settle on a new one. But how far do they have to fly, swim? If the pace of climate change is too fast, then it will not be so easy for the specialized species to adapt to the pace and change location….
My audio walk across the island is synonymous with this movement. I walk across the island and hear what is happening on the ground, take it with me as a recording and move on. I move in a soundscape that has been around for a long time. Collect fragments/artifacts for a time after…

What do we hear – in contrast to the tree?
What do we hear – and what does a tree hear?
It is now scientifically proven that plants can hear. They perceive sound waves and react to them – not to our music, but to sounds that have meaning in their environment.
When we play classical music to plants, it is just noise to them – one sound among many. But they understand certain acoustic signals from their predators. They can react to them, often with chemical defense strategies.
Studies show that plants produce defensive substances even if they are merely played the feeding sounds of insects. They activate protective mechanisms, warn neighboring plants and change their own chemical environment.
In my project “Sounds of the Inner Tree”, I use sensors and probes to investigate what a tree hears – and how it sounds. I try to listen inside it in order to capture its inner sound spaces.
The audio data from the sensors form one sound source, while the second comes from the ambient noise around the tree, which I record with microphones. These two levels create a complex auditory image that encompasses both the external sounds of the forest and the internal vibrations and resonances of the wood.
I am interested in how airborne sound and ambient noise are reflected inside the tree:
How much sound penetrates – and how deeply?
Does this change the structure of the wood? Or even effects on growth and communication?
My recordings show that there is a rich acoustic field within the tree:
I can hear insects living in it, bumblebees in the roots, beetle larvae eating through the wood or pupating there. Birds and small rodents can also be heard – often only as barely perceptible traces.
These inner and outer soundscapes reveal what plants hear – and which sounds they produce themselves.
Weather, wind and sun shape these acoustic processes just as much as the entire forest as a habitat, which resonates as a living ensemble of animals, insects and plants.
The project is an attempt to distance ourselves from an anthropocentric point of view – and to adopt a different perspective: that of a listening, sounding nature.
