In a present where sound unlocks new dimensions, Laboratório Experimental do Som harnesses the power of deep listening and sonic intelligence. Through field recordings, immersive storytelling, and acoustic research, we uncover hidden connections between nature, technology, and human experience. Our work drives innovation, inspires new perspectives, and fosters meaningful dialogue across sciences and cultures. By tuning into the world’s unseen frequencies, we open the door to new possibilities.
We are a biocultural agency that recognizes sound as a shared resource linking biodiversity and cultural heritage. Our work combines acoustic ecology with the documentation of traditional knowledge, creating a democratic and participatory knowledge base that serves the common good and promotes social justice.

Inspired by ecologists, we value biological and cultural diversity, critically addressing power structures that manage life and territory through ecological and social justice. Following the herstory, in ecofeminism, we experience listening as a biopolitical and ecological act, dismantling hierarchies between humans and non-humans, fostering environmental care and reciprocity.
Guided by listening practices, scientific research and arts, we cultivate radical attentiveness to the sonic environment as knowledge and collective transformation. Westerkamp’s work inspires us to explore soundscapes as tools for environmental awareness and community action.
