"Not long ago, just a few ten thousands of years back, there were glaciers here. And now a new climate is steaming and spreading. Fairly soon, these albinos might reach Chauvet Cave. Looking at the paintings, what will they make of them? Nothing is real. Nothing is certain. It is hard to decide whether or not these creatures here are dividing into their own doppelgaengers. And do they really meet, or is it just their own imaginary mirror reflection? Are we today possibly the crocodiles who look back into an abyss of time when we see the paintings of Chauvet Cave?" - Werner Herzog

Waft through the mists of the quantum field: you are the beforetime and the aftertime all at the same time. You'll encounter forgotten and found sounds, haunted sonics, obsolete audio, distorted vocals, and maybe even some Wurlitzer organ. We'll explore the unseen, the rarely known, the unheard of. What lies after death? Who visits from other dimensions? How does one time travel? Where do the elementals live?

When will we listen? The Warped Echo broadcasts roughly around each solstice and equinox (3/31/25, 6/30/25, 9/29/25 + 12/29/25), and each one investigates a theme: Death, Visitors, Travel, Elementals.
