This week, we examine the sounds humans make in order to monitor, repel, and control beasts. Author Mandy-Suzanne Wong’s Listen, We All Bleed is a creative nonfiction monograph that explores the human-animal relationship through animal-centered sound art. We’ll hear works by Robbie Judkins, Claude Matthews, and Colleen Plumb, interwoven with Wong’s unflinchingly reflective prose. By turns beautiful and harrowing, these sounds and words reposition us, kindling empathy as we listen through non-human ears.Links to works by the artists heard in this episode:·      Mandy Suzanne-Wong’s Listen, We All Bleed. ·      Robbie Judkins: Homo Tyrannicus, “Pest” (video), live in London, 2017·      Claude Matthews: “DogPoundFoundSound (Bad Radio Dog Massacre)”·      Colleen Plumb: “Thirty Times a Minute” (homepage), indoor installation (video)Learn more about your ad choices.
