Nobody Asked About Hope

The deepest transformations are never argued into existence but felt into being. This soundscape makes no argument for hope. It simply asks you to listen.
Every voice is real, recorded in conversation for Collecting Longings, a listening practice asking people what they long for, in search of the living stories that might help us reimagine who we are and how we belong in the world. Nobody was asked about hope. It arrived anyway, tucked inside the longing.
Underneath runs the Schumann Resonance, an electromagnetic frequency sometimes called the Earth's heartbeat.
Human longing from many places, carried on a pulse we all share.
