Crows and songs, on Audio Ecotone, Sept. 12, 2025

Fri, 09/12/2025 - 4:10pm | Eddy Owt

7d740407-0e9d-4b81-9583-0470bd1a7fb2.png

Eddy Owt allowed me (Pieter Pastoor) to fill in for him this week. I had to pick a theme, so a show was born about crows in song. Enjoy the journey in the spirit world of crows.

Crows in Song

Omens & death

Crows are often associated with death, darkness, or foreboding.

Wisdom & mystery

In many Native American, Celtic, and Norse myths (and retellings in literature), crows are seen as wise, shape-shifting messengers between worlds.

Transformation & the uncanny

Crows often appear in magical realism or gothic writing as liminal creatures — half in the human world, half in the supernatural.

Ted Hughes’ poetry collection Crow (1970) reimagines the crow as a trickster, creation figure, and survivor.
