On the next Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: How do we process loss, or even violence — collectively or alone? In his piece Manusa, composer Dorian Wallace turns to the five stages of grief as a guide, crafting a deeply human meditation through sound.

Then: After dark, the world transforms — and in Moth x Human, composer Ellie Wilson gives voice to that unseen world. Using real moth activity data, she crafts an interspecies performance where field recordings, instruments, and sonified biodiversity blend into a vivid nocturnal soundscape.
