Earth Sounds Now is a collective made up of community activist and musician Stefan Christoff, drummer, composer, scholar, and bandleader Asher Gamedze, music producer Nicolás Jaar, pianist and composer Büsra Kayikçi, and novelist, poet, and sound performer Kaie Kellough. Over 13 months, they met online to share sounds, readings, writings, and drawings, resulting in Convergence -- a project reflecting their collaborative process. Each member submitted different works, including paintings, poetry, field recordings, and musical experiments, taking turns responding to each other's contributions. Member Stefan Christoff highlights the importance of listening in these sessions: "Sometimes we would listen all together, so there was also silence on the online call as we all listened on headphones to the sounds from our respective places. I am underlining listening here, which the world needs much more of." These submissions were organized into a sound library and finally mixed into record format by Jaar, capturing the essence of their exchanges across global soundscapes.
