Anthropoiesis is a soundscape inviting us to reconfigure our relations with time, space and existence in the
Anthropocene age. It asks: what does it mean to live enfolded by deep time when humans have become a new
geologic agent? Given that poiesis is to make, transform, or bring forth, how can we reimagine our geologic future? Where is beauty to be found amidst the terror of biodiversity loss and climate change and how can we
create a sublime poetics of kin-making? This assemblage of ‘sound debris’ combines organic and human-constructed landscapes recorded on sites across Western and Central Australia and beyond. These reflect the
many scales and layers of more-than-human existence, from the granular to expansive. Sounds are layered with
new writing and text adapted from David Farrier’s Anthropocene Poetics (2019).

With my own ears: The ethics of sound in non-fiction film and TV

Sound in non-fiction is routinely manipulated in order to accentuate, suppress or replace some aspects of sound to present a clearer, more intelligible, exciting, involving or dramatic representation to the audience. This manipulation, or potential for manipulation, indicates the need for a discussion on the ethical dimensions of such a practice. Ethical models across a range of disciplines such as journalism, documentary and history can inform the approach applied to sound. This paper examines some of the realities and complexities of the nonfiction soundtrack. Given its potential to mislead, misrepresent and misinform, some practical guidelines for the ethical use of sound in non-fiction are suggested.
