EarthSonic Futures

EarthSonic in collaboration with Roland have teamed up to empower the next generation of climate-conscious music makers across the UK.

Together, we gave away 9 exclusive equipment bundles to young people who want to explore sound in a new way, through the world around them.

We have called on young people and artists who are passionate about music, the environment, and storytelling. With their bundles, they will experiment with field recordings, ambient textures, and turn everyday sounds into powerful compositions.

The winners have received their bundles of equipment at the Roland store on 3 July, 2025 as part of the launch of TAKKUUK, a new audio-visual film installation by EarthSonic. The equipment was handed to them by Ed O’Brien from Radiohead and Ruth Daniel, CEO and Artistic Director at In Place of War, during a special moment that celebrated youth creativity and climate action.

They winning applicants will also have the opportunity to become EarthSonic Futures Fellows by attending a series of online educational workshops, held July - Sept 2025.

Workshops to date:

1. Exploring the links between climate change and biodiversity loss, and the history of environmentalism
