EARS HAVE EYES is a monthly sound art radio program airing on CJSW 90.9 FM in Calgary/Mohkinstsis, Golden Co-op Radio in Golden, BC, and NAISA Radio in South River, Ontario. You can listen to podcasts of previous episodes here.
This month features a collection of experimental music, spoken word, field recordings, and soundscapes responding to our human capacity to create alone. Whether literally recording a new solo project, travelling alone across vast geographies with a microphone and recorder, exploring aloneness through the lens of psychoanalysis, or losing and finding one’s voice, our February episode invites you to listen – from your own perspective – to work made from the singular perspective of each acoustic artist on today’s show.
Thanks to the participating artists and our friends at CJSW, NAISA, and Golden Co-op Radio!
AnimaeNoctis
AnimaeNoctis is a duo, a polymorphous factory, a multimedia agency: Silvia Marcantoni Taddei (November 26, 1994) & Massimo Sannelli (November 27, 1973).
They are musicians, filmmakers, photographers, models, performers, 3D items makers, publishers, post-porn artists, dancers, activists via art. They live and work worldwide with a beloved hub in Novi Sad, Serbia.
Not To Be Silent is the story of Silvia’s voice healing. Her speech features simple words from Shakespeare’s Sonnets (desire, heart, my joy, memory, Beauty’s Rose) and new vocals from 2026. The old voice was not the disease, it was only a symptom.
Clare M. Duckett
Asalaus is the artist name for experimental musician and sound artist Ása Önnu Ólafsdóttir (b. 2000), hailing from the underground music scene in Iceland. Ása is also a member of the band Ateria (Músíktilraunir 2018 winner, Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss appearance), and of Gaffer Ensemble. Asalaus has released two full-length albums and one EP to date, each showcasing the artist’s unique vision and innovative approach to sound. The first album received a nomination for the Kraumur awards in 2020.
Hringavitleysa is an optimistic guitar piece from 2020, shortly after Asalaus began performing as a solo artist. This work is contrasted with heavy lag, a recent darker and slower piece from 2023. These two works are tied together by a thread of time, representing the artist’s trajectory across years of experimentation and development.
Cosmic Phoenix 23
Cosmic Phoenix 23 is the current pseudonym of Marian Cîtu, whose creative practice focuses on recording and producing audio, SFX, original soundscapes, and music for diverse media. From field recordings to opera, from black box to white cube, most of the work spans theatre, contemporary dance, performance, and multimedia, revealing the openness to cater to diverse audiences and artistic needs.
About Speculative Hybrid Cities:
“This is a field recording work that I’ve done around Europe with my minimalistic mobile kit (recorder+mic), where it can be clearly noticed that the concept and the theme is all about our shared public space inside a utopic world without borders, as there are several countries and cities inside the work, sometimes you might hear different languages like German, English, Arabic and even Romanian. Thus the title of the work is ‘Speculative Hybrid Cities.'”

The Capacity to be Alone is a spoken word and soundscape suite of 18 tracks comprised of fragments, broken utterances, trace narratives and everyday sounds that interact in an ecology of place, affect and self. Part memoir and self-analysis, Capacity is an exploration of psychic conflict, recovery and acceptance. “The Capacity to Be Alone” is a direct reference to the 1958 psychoanalytic paper of the same title by Donald D. Winnicott in which he posits the notion that the capacity to be alone is not achieved through isolation but rather from the childhood experiences of integrating one’s self in the presence of another whereby one develops an internal capacity to be alone when having to confront actual isolation later in adult life. Without this internalization one suffers, and hopefully struggles to build their own internal capacity to be alone. Capacity is an invitation to feel and think about this struggle.
Thank you to the artists & listeners!
