"Un Suono in Estinzione" is an experimental research project aimed at monitoring the implications of climate change on alpine glaciers through a sonic exploration of natural environments at risk, declined in educational, artistic and scientific activities. The project was born in 2020 from an idea of ​​the researcher and sound artist Sergio Maggioni a.k.a. NEUNAU, and developed together with a team of professionals from different fields.

Phase 1: Data collection campaign on glaciers.

Phase 2: Scientific analysis of the collected data.

Phase 3: Dissemination through artistic works and scientific papers.

Thanks to our methodology, we can analyze with ultra-high definition every moment from the three years of recordings captured by five bioacoustic recorders placed at strategic points across the glacier. This enables a hyper-detailed analysis, valuable for both scientific research and artistic or educational applications.

With continuous 24/7 recordings of both sound and temperature collected over several months, we are able to sequence entire days, analyze daily fluctuations, and create a truly detailed scan of the area.
