"and every star will blaze to guide their spirits home" is a sound piece imagined by Graeme Thomson and Silvia Maglioni as a threshold time-space to welcome visitors to the third edition of The Listening Biennial. It is conceived as an extension to the Ambient Thought(s) series but rather than focusing on one particular thinker, we have woven together a number of different voices in the astral spirit of thirdness and the forces that it summons, including Audre Lorde, Adania Shibli, Fred Moten, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, Natalie Harkin, Trinh T Minh-Ha, Manthia Diawara, Pauline Oliveros, Homi Bhabha, Gloria Anzaldua, Raven Chacon and Stephen Muecke.

A new episode of AMBIENT THOUGHT pays homage to French philosopher Gilles Deleuze on the occasion of his 100th birthday (1925-2025). In this cult seminar from the 1970s from the Revolutionary University of Vincennes (at the time he was writing "Mille Plateaux" with Félix Guattari), Deleuze leads us on a visionary journey into the concepts of molar and molecular multiplicities, border-dwelling and the position of the Outsider with allies ranging from Virginia Woolf to Moby Dick, from the Sorcerer to the werewolf, from mutants and vampires to catastrophe theory.
Mille mercis, Gilles!
