These practices are offered in different terrains, from the most urban to the most bucolic, depending on the associated events.
First of all, we prepare our senses with a practice of deep listening, following the precepts of Pauline Oliveiros, or with partners offering breathing and meditation times.
Then, depending on the time available, we can try to draw the sounds we hear for a joint exchange in an attempt to sketch the ambient soundscape.
Then, using different microphones used in bioacoustics and having been used for the recordings of several sound projects, we explore the territories from the largest to the smallest scale.
Taking the time to touch the trees, to feel and listen to the different textures of the bark and leaves under our fingers.
Listen to pollinators and birds in nearby areas: sound microphones are like ‘super ears’.
Listen to the sound of invertebrates and the life of the ground we walk on
A botanical moment of exchange between humans, with the other living beings that surround us, but of which we are not always aware.
