"What have we listened to? Sounds found, sounds recorded"... The presentation of field recordings from Istanbul and Marseille.

We would like to ask you a few simple questions. What do we record when we are outside? Or what do we really record when we are outside? What do we listen to when we listen to field recordings? Or what do we really listen to when we listen to field recordings? What are the relationships between the recording and the reality, and between the recording and the space we were recording? What do we want to listen to and what do we like listening to? Where is the beginning and the end of the pleasure coming from the listening experience?

On this occassion we would like to let you listen to what we were listening to when we were recording...

By the way, what are you listening to?
