These compositions were conceived mainly from researches on the Inaudible, and the Unspeakable. Everyday Unknown is a series devoted to the representation of infraliminary sound phenomenon of reality, of everyday life.
During these past years, exploring my daily environment and also my archives, I have discovered a missing part of my listening : beyond the threshold of my hearing, or my measure. I was interested in these territories of the Inaudible, while questioning myself about the making of the present time, with microphones and recordings : the dynamic relationship between the body and the listening of his/her environment. In these infraliminary dimensions, my perception of the reality is constantly stretched to the limits of the comprehensible.

What characterises my inner sound environment? What relationships do I have with reality, inside?
To answer these questions, I have chosen three striking interiors from the last ten years. Firstly, in my apartment, following Paris. I highlighted liminal phenomena, making them events in their own right, bringing them out of the inaudible. Then, in an artist's studio, behind closed doors, I followed her painting process to attempt to grasp the persistence and resonance of her creative gesture.Finally, in a museum, I amplified the background air-conditioning of the empty spaces to render audible the specific qualities of this monumental architecture, dedicated to the containment of its collection.

"During Spring 2015, Eamon Sprod and Eric La Casa spent one week to record on waste grounds, at the north east of Paris, and along the canal Ourcq. Spaces which are somehow both inside yet apart from the city; waiting spaces from which to listen to the threshold of the city."
