//Unheard_Landscapes - listening | resonating | inhabiting 10th FKL/ENP/AAU_CRESSON International Symposium on Soundscape BLOIS | October 27 -30

Unheard landscapes: this metaphor leaves space to imagination, to the un-thought, to the un-known, to past and future, as well as unexplored sound scenarios. It also reaches the field of auditory perception, the acoustic domain. Sound, through auditive qualities, acoustic phenomena, design practices, artistic creations, and listening experiences, offers an inspiring transversal entry onto landscapes and ambiances. Beyond the discussions on “soundscape”, approaching ordinary environments through sounds increases the awareness of our own capacities to feel, while we inhabit and move across different worlds. From an ecological perspective, resonance appears a key word, too. It puts sound and space together. It implies the idea of a plurality of bodies, things and living beings vibrating all together, sharing common contexts of time and space. The act of listening bypasses the passive meaning it usually receives. It contains in itself a completely unexpressed potential, connoted with «project», «pro-action» and «active decision» by individuals. What will be the sounds of the future and the soundscapes in which we will live, or would like to? How can listening practices evolve, how will we listen or how differently could we listen to the world around us, tomorrow? Inhabiting the world brings to us questions about how we want to manage our being in it. How do we want to inhabit the world sonically? How sound and listening do actually affect our way to inhabit it? Have we lost some of our abilities to resonate with the world? What remains to be heard? Where could the practices of listening and attuning take us to?

Soundwork

Charkwalk

Abstract

The châteaux of the Loire are made up of three elements, limestone, slate and oak. These same three elements constitute these blackboards of the classrooms and research rooms of the last century, the chalk acting as stone. The proposal consists in producing a lesson-performance-concert on a few diagram practices in all fields of knowledge, between art, music, mathematics, physics by sounding the chalk lines on the back of the board using sensors. The sensors are linked to effect tables. All production is financed by the artist, including the sound system.

Thierry Mouillé, develops since 1988, a multidimensional work under the generic term of the moving foundation. Several museums have already devoted important monographs to him, in France and abroad. Former laureate of the Académie de France in Rome, Villa Médicis, he currently directs the laboratory of intutitions, an art research unit, and coordinates the master sculpture at the TALM-Tours Higher School of Art and Design. He lives and works in Paris and Tours, and is represented by the Claudine Papillon gallery, Paris.
