In the framework of the Sonic Summer 2024, the convent garden becomes the scene of a small multi-phonic symphony of synthetic insect sounds inspired by the intense bustle of the Amazonian jungle, the lazy audio landscapes of a hot Mediterranean summer with these crickets and cicadas and the joyful buzz of bees and midges of the meadows, forests and mountains of our holidays.
