A full moon night hike in the snow
There is something about walking at night. The experience of it is so different from walking in the daytime. There is pleasant disorientation even in familiar terrain. The known becomes unknown and new. The darkness, and the cold of winter, keep others away bringing a stillness and communion with things that are bigger than the […]

Paysage sonore qui est-tu ?
Translate this page Depuis de nombreuses années, je me bats avec la notion de paysage sonore. Qu’est-il ? Que n’est-il pas ? Est-il vraiment ? Pendant longtemps, je l’ai approché comme un objet esthétique, un objet qui serait en quelque sorte digne d’intérêt, donc digne d’écoute.

Maya’s Curse
‘So you want to know who Maya is?’ he breaks the awkward silence.

Never mind … you’re probably the only one of these people dying to meet me who’s not interested in some quick-fix solution for health, prosperity or love.
