The 'hyperactive listener' capturing the world around him

Available for over a year

American media artist Andy Slater grew up wanting to paint hyper-realistic landscapes. But when he began to lose his sight, as a result of the genetic condition retinitis pigmentosa, he switched to recording found sounds, quickly gaining an audience for his wild experimental music and soundscapes. A self-described "hyperactive listener", he's now the recipient of a prestigious United States Artists fellowship. Andy, alongside his son Baron and his dad Jim, chat to Outlook's Danny Greenwald about music, activism, and the shared passion for vinyl that unites them all. Danie Ferreira's life revolves around capturing the world's biggest ice sheets on camera. His fascination started at 19, when he lived in Antarctica for a year, working as a metereological observer. He says the experience was "extraplanetary". Danie's book: Out in the Cold, charts his 30 year journey through the Antarctic and Arctic landscapes.
