Tune in for a special solstice broadcast of "The Sounds of the Winter Solstice," a soundscape and vocal performance by artist Zaneta. This piece is an excerpt of a larger work called "Invitations from the Land," which was recorded at WLC’s Israel Wittman Sanctuary in the Zena Highwoods on the winter solstice of 2024. Drawing from field recordings captured at powerful celestial moments like solstices and equinoxes, Zaneta creates immersive sonic worlds where the forest itself becomes both stage and collaborator. Layered within these soundscapes are her sung responses, an intimate practice rooted in her Filipinx heritage and the tradition of singing to the forest passed down by her grandmother. The piece features interviews from residents of the Zena Highwoods, the WLC Land Stewards who maintain Israel Wittman Sanctuary, and WLC’s Program Curator, Miranda Javid. This broadcast invites listeners to slow down, attune to seasonal rhythms, and experience the living dialogue between artist and landscape.
