Very proud to see our piece ‘Birds and wires’ won the Pierre Schaeffer prize at the Phonurgia Nova awards! You can read about the piece in the French magazine Télérama.
This piece was made with Clippy microphones (omnis) directly attached on a fence, the metal sounds you hear are the birds hitting the barbed wires while flying around.

16.06.21 – Soundwalk ‘Listening to the hum’ – Meeting 5pm at Löwenbräukunst Areal (Zurich)
(1h walk, free)
We never give attention to the hum. It’s always around, constant, unconscious. We only spot it once it stops. During this soundwalk, we will focus on the unheard sounds, the smallest constant flow around us. From air conditionning ventilation to blowing wind or water flow, we will try to explore our sonic relation to the hum soundscape.
This walk was part of the ‘distributed transactions’ from the Master of Transdisciplinary Studies.
