Listen. Gather. Create.
01 / About
Art grows from relationship.
We create gatherings, sound, films and installations rooted in a place and the people who live there.
Our work begins with time spent walking, listening and meeting people. We learn from local rhythms and the knowledge already held in a landscape. Stories, sounds and materials become the starting points for what we make.
Solar Moon Studio turns ecological knowledge into shared experience: moments of beauty, belonging and care for the living world.
02 / Practice
Four ways to enter a place.
Local portraits & films
Stories of people and territories, told through conversation, image, sound and everyday life.
Music & listening
Field recordings, environmental sound and musical responses. Listening becomes a way of knowing a place.
Land-based experiments
Installations, walks, objects and interventions made in dialogue with a landscape and its more-than-human life.

04 / Field notes
Pay attention. Keep a trace.
A walk, a voice, a meal, a sound at dusk. We gather photographs, recordings, conversations and notes with care and consent. Each fragment is part of an evolving relationship with a place.

05 / Current inquiry
Living portrait:
Tapalpa.
The pulse of a place, composed as an interactive installation of sound, image and encounter.
We spend time walking, listening and building relationships before deciding what the work should be. Local voices, stories, field recordings, images and materials become a living portrait of the place.
The proposed installation invites visitors to move through these fragments, activating sound and image through physical interaction. The relationships of the place unfold as people explore.
