Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

This is a talk-and-performance setting built around turning Earth-observation data into sound and image. The programme frames it as immersive audiovisual work followed by discussion, so expect data-driven ambient textures, spoken context, and a presentation format rather than a club set.

More about Gavin Starks

Starks is tied to EarthSonic, a global project that tells the story of climate change through music and works with scientists, cultural organisers and activists. EarthSonic describes itself as a project by In Place of War, and its Signals programme is explicitly built around ESA earth-observation data.

A story

EarthSonic’s Signals project uses European Space Agency earth-observation data as source material for a 20-minute piece called Redshift: Slow Down and Reconnect with Time. In their own words
