USP - Conférence : "Le grand concert des petites bêtes"

For decades, Boris Jollivet has been exploring natural environments to capture the little-known world of sound: the vibrations of insects, birdsong, the rustling of water and vegetation… This audio naturalist takes us on a fascinating auditory journey through the living world. Through his acoustic recordings of unparalleled finesse, he gives us access to a universe that is, quite literally, unforgettable. This immersion into a world we live alongside without paying it any attention changes our perspective and leads us to a better understanding of the richness, fragility, and poetry hidden beneath the overused term “biodiversity.”%An astonishing “sound performance”—best enjoyed with your eyes closed!
