Ben là, we recorded this episode during the two days in May 2024 while travelling through Montreal, Québec (CA). Edda Bild (la ville sonore) led us from one luring soundscape intervention site to another. Francesco, Tin and Andrew applied field recording and field rant techniques, in situ, to stay focused on their mission.

We hope you will enjoy this sound collage of ambiances and witful insights from Edda and your favourite hosts. We start from Le Plateau-Mont-Royal and then visit the City and Quartier des Spectacles, exploring microsoundscapes and water features in quite some depth.

Stay tuned for an enticing conversation on soundwalks, soundscape practices and the future of mutispecies approach to soundscapes with Usue, Richard and Sarah and the very engaged audience - thanks to whose intervention, we end this episode with END (Environmental Noise Directive). Enjoy!

Some listeners may find some of the sounds in this episode disturbing.

In today's episode, we meet with a conceptual sound artist, composer, curator and musician, Lola de la Mata, working with tinnitus, spontaneous auto-acoustic emissions and aural diversity.

We talk about how research-informed art shouldn't be pleasant at all cost as we dive in Lola's recent album Oceans on Azimuth and her exploration of her personal objective tinnitus.
