Earful is the collaborative artistic practice of Teresa Parod and Bill Parod.

Together we create works that explore relationships among sound, painting, place, and the living world. Our projects take many forms—including installations, performances, recordings, mobile experiences, augmented reality, and research—but they share a common interest in listening as a creative act.

Much of our work begins by observing how sound behaves in the world. We are drawn to the ways voices, instruments, environments, and living organisms reveal themselves through interaction rather than isolation. Birds, forests, paintings, performers, and listeners each suggest ways of understanding sound as something relational, spatial, and alive.

Behavior has long been central to Earful’s artistic approach. Rather than composing only fixed musical events, many projects explore how individual voices act, respond, and coexist over time. This approach lies somewhere between musical composition, improvisation, ecological observation, and world-building. The resulting works invite discovery rather than repetition.

Technology serves these artistic questions rather than defining them. We develop software and interactive systems when they enable new forms of listening, collaboration, or spatial experience, but the work is ultimately about perception and relationships—not technology itself.

As Earful continues to evolve, painting and sound increasingly inform one another. Teresa’s visual work and Bill’s work with sound, tuning, and spatial listening are becoming a shared artistic practice in which each medium influences the other.

There is always work in progress, and many ideas continue to develop over years. We hope this site offers not only completed projects but also a sense of the questions that continue to guide our work.

If something here resonates with you, we would be delighted to hear from you.
