This paper discusses the soundscape ecology and speculative ontology in the work of Spanish sound artist Francisco López. Focusing on the essays "Environmental Sound Matter" and "Sonic Creatures," I conceived the ontology of sounds in the soundscape "La Selva" as a response to the simulation hypothesis in technocratic philosophy, an unsimulated world where sounds emerge as a multispecies muddle of "critters," as theorized by Donna Haraway, Vinciane Despret, and others.

Based on a handful of notes and personal impressions, this is an unqualified research note and a descriptive overview of this conference from the perspective of a literary scholar. This perspective includes some brief reflections on Nietzsche's perspectivism and Genevieve Lloyd's reading of Spinoza as an alternative epistemology to Cartesian mind-body dualism, which approach critical engagement through a set of perspectives arising from the intersections between different fields.
