Ecopathy.earth — A Trilogy
"We cannot recognize what we've lost,
for we've forgotten what once existed."
— Daniël Tomàs
We don't have funerals for extinct animal species. No procession mourning the fact that we probably won't have any beech trees left in the Netherlands in 50 years.
We have no place for ecological grief.
Through a trilogy of albums, a soundscape app, and a growing community of listeners — Ecopathy transforms ecological loss into something you can hear, feel, and process.
Imagine walking through a Dutch nature reserve and hearing what it sounded like 200 years ago. Calving whales in the Wadden Sea. Skies black with birds. Meter-long sturgeons in the river.
The Ecopathy app is a time machine for your ears. Walk. Listen. Remember.
From a boy who walked through nature with his grandfather — the soil scientist — to a man living in a Tiny House on the edge of the Wadden Sea, witnessing the silence where 27,000 species disappear every year — and realizing: the exception should be the norm.
Daniël Tomàs van der Duim (1995) is a pianist, composer, and producer. His music lives at the intersection of classical composition, jazz improvisation, and electronic soundscapes. He calls it New Romanticism.
Ecopathy is not a nostalgic project. It is an invitation to open your ears.
