Abstract

The article investigates the connection between environment and creativity through a two week artist residence at Wick Farm in Somerset. Drawing from Haraway, Marchesini, Barad and Csikszentmihalyi, and through a reflective and open methodology and critical exegesis, it explores the ecological dimensions of electronic music production, emphasising how responsiveness to natural rhythms and allowing for serendipitous discoveries has the potential to reorient both maker and listener towards an ecocentric mindset.

Keywords: ecological creativity, kinship, animal onotology, artist residency
