From floating in a pond in Vermont to slipping between space and the sky, five audio-makers offer a series of Radio 3's innovative Between the Ears features in miniature inspired by the elements.

Our last edition takes aether as its starting point, made by the composer and audio artist Aur茅lie Nyirabikali Lierman. The visible and invisible world were heavily intertwined in pre-colonial Rwanda. Hunters would communicate with their ancestors and hunter spirits through very specific rituals, words, sounds and music: thus making aether, the most elusive element, almost graspable.

Aur茅lie Nyirabikali Lierman鈥檚 oeuvre is a synthesis of radio art and musical theatre from an Afro-European perspective, and has been described as: pioneering, bold, provocative and delicate. She brings unique stories to life in an accessible and innovative way: often based on acoustic sounds and soundscapes that she moves around like 3D cinema for the ears. Her main focus is the (non) human voice, as well as her many personally gathered field recordings from East-Africa. She collaborates with other artists in a variety of disciplines and fields and has won many prizes at home and abroad. www.aurelielierman.be
