Show Notes
Sous Sussurrement is a collaborative sound piece that documents the experience of listening to and sounding with Azillanet, a small village in the south of France. Created by nine sound recordists, artists, engineers and dabblers from nine different countries during a workshop with Felix Blume, it attempts to unearth the village's hidden, subterranean and parallel sound worlds. Worlds carried on the back of whispers, murmurs, flutters, whisps, buzzes, footfalls and creaks.
A sound piece by Alyssa Moxley, Anne Marie Deacy, Heather Anderson, Jakov Munizaba, Jamie Reinert, Joschka Waibel, Marco Furlanetto, Nino Paton and Ruxandra Stoicescu.
Our thanks, always, to the people of Azillanet who welcomed us and our ears warmly. Special thanks to: Alain, Andres, François, Georges, Guiguitte, Héloïse, Laurence, Marie, Martine, Mathieu and his pupils, Maya, Nico, Pierre-Luc, Susanne and Youri.

Dusk recording in the Trésor Nature Reserve, French Guiana. Recorded near a forest pond, close to the roadside, with a light breeze in the trees, frogs and crickets, and a distant tinamou.
Crayfish sound recorded underwater. Species: Signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus), originally from North America, recorded in Lake Geneva (Lac Léman), Switzerland.
Azillanet, France. When cicadas's sleep after a day or relentless shaking, a portal to a new form of listening is revealed. In their collective dreaming, the sounds of the village re-emerge transformed, as a sonic tapestry that bears witness to the deeply oneiric nature of the real.
