Soil is a counter-design to the hyper-productive present.

The New
We are looking for new ways to make, present and learn music.
There are unknown lands to be explored. Artistically, socially and ecologically. Testing and practising further regenerative methods. Besides—or below—the beaten track. The sonic ecology beneath the surface brings us joy.
Soil beckons us to look beyond ourselves. We sow, plant, water, nurture and hope for growth and harvest, possibly even after our own lifetime. Soil teaches us to think beyond the pursuit of our own gain, pleasure, power and prestige.

On September 27, 2025, the idyllically located Steingrubenhof in St. Peter near Freiburg will be the venue for a special premiere: The first Soil Sound Festival invites you to a day full of music, (agri)culture, and inspiration—with a goal that extends far beyond the festival grounds.
Between the Black Forest barn, compost laboratory, and open-air stage, you can expect a varied program of concerts, workshops, family and children’s activities, expert presentations, and games. Indulge in culinary delights, be inspired by new ideas and insights, and be enchanted by the panoramic view.
In times of ecological crises and social division, we believe that the ground beneath our feet connects us. It is, both literally and figuratively, our common denominator—the foundation for food, climate resilience, and a good life. Yet its importance is hardly acknowledged in society and politics. The Soil Sound Festival aims to change that—creatively, collaboratively, and enthusiastically.
