Water 6: Oceans

For this episode musicologist Joy Calico joins Lutz Koepnick as co-host to discuss contemporary projects dedicated to the planet’s oceans in distress. We speak with Juliana Snapper and her collaborator Andrew Infanti about their unique opera,You Who Will Emerge from the Flood. A soprano who combines radical vocal techniques and improvisation, Snapper’s underwater performances not only push the operatic medium to its extreme limits but ask tough questions about the role of music and art in face of our planetary crises. We also hear from media scholar and ocean humanist Melody Jue about what she calls our terrestrial bias and how we can change our relation to the planet’s troubled oceans—and the environment in general—if we assumed the perspective of a scuba diver.
