The Earth’s orbit around the sound finds itself at the point where we, from our planet, measure the sun’s relative location exactly above the Equator’s, making its way South. This marks the autumnal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the vernal equinox and the beginning of spring in the Southern Hemisphere.

The mix presented today, by our curator Melissa Pons, is an invitation to celebrate – or rather to contemplate, to attune the ears and let the body-mind wander freely.

Thanks to our artists, we’ll listen to Earth’s soundscapes from Aotearoa New Zealand to Portugal – please see the full playlist below.

They have all been recorded within 7 days of the September Equinox and in this piece, they have been sculpted and twined into a cinematic dreamy travel with ambient electronic music, in some impossible place between the Earth and the Moon.
