Brian D’Souza is an award-winning sound artist, DJ, live performer, and musical explorer whose work dissolves the boundaries between biology, memory, and rhythm.

Best known under his artist moniker Auntie Flo, Brian has long been at the forefront of innovative electronic music, but his recent work goes deeper, turning towards the intelligence of the natural world to ask: what if music could be grown, not made?

With a background in environmental acoustics and a lifelong fascination with sound, Brian’s work bridges art and science, creating immersive experiences that reconnect us to ourselves and the ecosystems we live within.

Whether collaborating with researchers, performing in forests, or building sensory installations, his mission is simple and radical: to tune us back in.

Do Radio Show Notes

In this episode of Where To Next?,

Mike Warwick meets Brian in his London home to talk about fungi, frequency, and the power of deep listening.

Their conversation flows across decades and disciplines from Glasgow’s underground club scene to a new kind of collaboration: one with nature itself.

Brian shares how a midlife turning point, the stillness of lockdown, and the arrival of fatherhood led him away from dancefloors and business ventures and into forest walks, geophonic field recordings, and an intentional relationship with sound.
