‘To listen, to hear a territory by walking it, by pacing it. To share audio-kinesthetic experiences, auricular sociabilities. To bring out collective sensitivities, landscape amenities, audio-sociability… To summon aesthetic, ecosophical, political, ethical… gestures. Put our listening in the heart of a sensitive experience, a mix of soundscapes in perpetual reconstruction, to participate in an involved research.‘ (Gilles Malatray/desartsonnants)
