Murmures d’inanimés (in)audibles
Performed and recorded by Frantz Loriot (March 2022, Zurich, Switzerland).

This is a one-shot take. There are no special effects, nor montage.

Listening with headphones is recommended.

List of manipulated objects:
1.	Corrugated cardboard
2.	Plastic postcard, lenticular printed
3.	A piece of Velcro tape (both hook and loop sides)
4.	Three different types of sponges (polyester, foam, and steel wire)
5.	Dried poppy seed pod
6.	Various toothbrushes
7.	PVC cards

Little objects of the everyday are present in our lives – useful and useless, visible, and invisible. They accompany us in our days without flinching. Inanimate, inaudible, whispering discreetly. If we pay them a little attention, listening to them by bringing our ears closer, if we leave them enough time to express what they want to tell, they emit and produce rich sounds in spite their smallness: speaking surprising, disconcerting, disturbing sounds. All we ought to do is let them move and relate to each other, to conceive and build a space and scape where listening is a base from which new possibilities can arise.
