River Tones Concert - glossary walk with the association "AIA - Awareness in Art"

30. August 2025 • Melo Chua, Constanza Pellicci, Andres Bosshard, Martina Huber

A walking ritual in attuning one‘s ears to the different frequencies of water, birds, and livingscapes. Melo Chua (flute) and Constanza Pellicci (voice) perform small improvised pieces composing relationships with the soundscape, as Andres Bosshard guides participants towards an embodied way of deep listening. It is an invitation to become more aware of the hidden musicalities in our everyday environments, that we might become more sensitive to our presences in the wider ecosystem.
The performance ist part of the project River Landscapes: A New Glossary. The transdisciplinary project explores Swiss rivers as ecological and cultural landscapes. Through workshops, fieldwork, and collective reflection, participants co-create glossary entries that weave together artistic, scientific, and local knowledge. The glossary—published as an open-source format—includes language, images, sounds, and stories that reimagine rivers not as controllable resources, but as vibrant, more-than-human ecosystems. The project will culminate in a public presentation series on a boat along the Limmat in 2026.
