Echoed Chamber

Echoed Chamber originated from a jam session. Being fascinated by the primitive sounds we made, we did it again in a cave, recorded and processed the sounds to recreate the acoustics there, and made a sample pack for anyone to experience it anywhere.

Territoires et paysages sonores, écoutes actives et pédagogies

Parce que si la nuisance sonore est un fait, une réalité, une source de problème sanitaires, une gêne stressante, nos environnements ne se réduisent heureusement pas à ces constats négatifs et dépréciatifs.

Sur le terrain…

Donner une conférence autour d’un sujet qui m’est cher, que je porte à bout de bras, à portée d’oreille, est un moment riche, intense, qui me permet à la fois de reformuler, d’expliquer, d’échanger. C’est une façon de faire progresser mes réflexions et actions. Mais au-delà, afin de ne pas m’adresser essentiellement à un public […]
