Google Fired You

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 10:34:55 GMT

This sound project was an experimentation with the sound of words by Martin, Maelle, Xael, Clotilde, Carly and Mimosa. They focused on how language can be transformed from one to another. Using Google Translate’s voice, they tried to see where translations could lead them. Google Translate isn’t always accurate so they were left with some pretty crazy translations : one sentence losing all of its meaning when translated to another language, sometimes words that didn’t even make sense, sometimes just the sound of the letters. They followed a protocol, all using their phones, sitting next to a computer and a keyboard, they started with simple sentences from french or english and translated them to some other language and then back to french or english, and so on, until they were left with a weird - yet poetic - sound. In this project you can hear them elaborating the protocol, and trying out things, such as vocoder or live music. This journey led them to a music with computer-like sounds and lyrics that came from Google Translate.

The Sloppy Mimic in the Wood

Wed, 14 May 2025 13:00:00 GMT

The work we produced with the group is a listening experience based on a horror story, drawing on the found-footage genre to capture a mood. The latter is part of an “archive” style of media, but with invented stories, offering an experience that seems to have been captured on the spot. This approach enabled us to capture particular sounds, and use them to benefit the overall mood of the podcast.

At the heart of tradition

Fri, 02 May 2025 13:00:00 GMT

In this podcast, we will talk about traditions, this precious heritage that forges our identity. Through our personal experiences, cultures, families and knowledge, we explore what makes these customs so vibrant and essential.

We will begin by highlighting traditional music made on the drum, true vectors of emotion and cultural transmission. Then, we will take you into the warm world of knitting, an artisanal practice often passed down from generation to generation, where grandmothers teach young ones the art of creating with their hands.

We will also broaden our perspective by discussing the richness of African culture and how it inspires vibrant, colorful and deeply rooted traditions.

Finally, we will share how these traditions and heritage directly influence our personal and creative projects this year. For us, these transmissions are not simple customs of the past: they embody essential pillars of who we are today.

Feminism in the streets

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Here we follow the story of a young woman. She was about to return home when she had the impression of being followed... This is how she discreetly called her friend, speaking to her in a message coded to make her understand that she is in danger. Who is it? Is it really someone? A woman would not have to be afraid of being alone in the street...

The two women therefore find themselves exchanging their points of view concerning art, feminist artists or not.

Inside / Outside

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Inside / outside is a travel, physical and emotional. It’s about the sensations that we’re going through and experiencing in everyday lives, in public transport, riding a bicycle, in the street. Sound is connected to sensations.

In this work, we are taking the fact that the external sounds impact us, our feeling ; making us feeling happy, smooth, agitated, stressed, oppressed. The metro’s or ambulance buzzer, the rhythm of the metro, birds sounds, receiving the “signals” of the external environment.

We wanted to play with utopia and dystopia, to create confusion in the listener’s mind. We don’t know if it’s something chaotic like a war and everything falling down or if everything’s okay and it’s just a mental travel. We really appreciated working on this limits and making some noises to imagine an illusion in exploring and exploiting recording defaults.

Hear the Smell

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Our group work presents a unique auditory journey through the sounds of various foods being chewed. Everyday sounds we often overlook—like the crunch of a cracker, the softness of bread, the crispness of an apple—are layered, extended, and transformed into a purely sonic experience. These sounds are intricately woven together, creating a

textured soundscape that gradually deepens, immersing the listener in a world filled with rhythm and emotion. It’s not only a reexamination of sound but also an exploration of the familiar and unfamiliar, inviting listeners to experience the texture and power of sound through their ears alone.

Net Sound

Fri, 11 Apr 2025 13:00:00 GMT

At the beginning, we talk about an old performance of Antoine’s. The net is a performative device that takes the form of a collective game where language is woven. This yellow net extends like a narrow strip of about 50 cm wide by 3 meters long, inviting participants to enter into dialogue with it and with each other. The fishing net that Antoine crafted is made for performance. It was about taking a fishing net and saying words to create a narration. Each participant is invited to place their hands on the net. The goal is simple in appearance: to get out of the net together. To progress, each person takes turns saying a word or a fragment of a sentence, inspired by the immediate environment, by the material of the net or by the associations of ideas that it arouses. Each word spoken is equivalent to a step, a knot crossed, a collective approach towards the edge of the net. During the performance each word had to resonate with the next one, we can take all the time we need to find a word who can resonate with the previous word. The performance lasted twenty minutes, when finally we all accessed the end of the path of knot and we stop saying words. This sound is a combination of report, documentation and narration. There is no visual documentation of the performance, only the artwork that indicates the existence of the net. At the beginning of the podcast, you can hear the note of intent in the sound as well as the recording of the performance with the net.

One Day

Wed, 09 Apr 2025 13:00:00 GMT

The focus of our venture, One Day – Auto-portraits in Sound, revolves around building a sound portrait of each team member with the events of a single day. Including activities such as cooking, hanging out with friends, listening to music, or day trip as a way of understanding the concept of self-representation. Each team member is allowed to either demonstrate their ordinary life or a fictional character, which allows room for imagination. These togetherness soundscapes make up a bigger picture of personal stories set within the structure of ‘One Day’.

1. Alix, 19, aspiring circus performer and music lover. Goes to gigs and spends time with friends. (Louiza)

2. Mariam, 24 years old, an art student. The recording shows the simplicity of a student’s

day between its school life and house life, tasks, duties and fun. A story to be told by the

individuals words. (Mariam)

3. Malonne, a designer works at home, spent the day with knife, pencil and heat. (Ziyi)

4. Amy, a photographer living in the city Phoenix. The recording starts with a short trip during the day time, then enter the dreamy night. Mixing a bit contrast of reality and dream. (Yi)

5. Malcom, 8:53, no clue about pm or am, his alarm clock works no more. (Aristide)

This audio project invites listeners to imagine stories through the medium of sound, highlighting the richness of everyday life. By weaving together field recordings, we aim to create immersive soundscapes that challenge the audience to build their own narratives from auditory cues.

The project draws inspiration from sound artists like Luc Ferrari, known for his evocative environmental recordings, and Hildegard Westerkamp, who explored storytelling through soundscapes. Our work bridges art and imagination, allowing sound to become a canvas for the listener's creativity.

This collaborative effort was created by Mariam, Louiza, Ziyi,

Aristide, & Yi.

Happy Times

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 13:00:00 GMT

A space. A place. Where I’m working or where I’m sleeping? What difference does it make when I have to wait to go from one to the other. I spent my studies waiting for that, for what? Mouses are clicking, keyboards are tapping, computers whirr... Who is actually working? Us, a couple of people or a ton of machines? I take a document from one to distribute it to another while my shoes and my outfit is strangling me. A door is opening and closing tirelessly, the background sound is always the same. Finally I can go. It’s raining. I didn’t notice it. The windows are too disturbing. Walk to the bus, number 7.5. Inside is a bunch of children, rain is enchanting them with their little rain coats. Rest now. The little ones are almost screaming but it’s okay, I was one of them. Wasn't I? Or was I always the teacher? little minds growing around colorful cubes and sleepy hours. I can’t even remember this time, was I screaming “mine! mine!” or was I the little one waiting peacefully, or crying, all day to go back to my mom?

Divination as a means of self-knowledge

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 14:00:00 GMT

In this experimental radio project, our group seeks to explore means of divination by combining traditional Chinese fortune-telling methods and Western Tarot reading methods. The Chinese method reflects a rich history and philosophical depth, by using ancient chinese symbols written on small circular pieces of wood tokens that are thrown and then associated with a specific passage and poem written in Ancient Chinese. Meanwhile the Tarot represents a global perspective of the practices of divination. To explore these methods, our group created a protocol, which is the following:

1) One person (Yuwen, Haoran,Mingwang or Omari) asks a question of their choice;

2) One person (Rouyu) acts as the Diviner, conducting the reading of cards or tokens;

3) Once the reading is done, others from the group may give their own perspectives of what the result may be.

Microwaves

Wed, 26 Mar 2025 14:00:00 GMT

MICROWAVES — TV DINNER is an experimental sound piece playing on the field of auditory storytelling. Through sometimes robotic meditative incentives, and eclectic echoes, MICROWAVES — TV DINNER explores aspects of our daily lives where technology and the search for comfort and convenience shape the modern human experience.

Putting us in the company of a microwavable TV dinner tray, this piece attempts to question the ways modern technology is affecting not only our senses, but also our lives. Chosen symbol of the modern routine, the TV dinner tray is a token of solitude. Loss of a sense of home, of the experience of gathering and sharing a meal, this sound piece points out ways that today, we’re not so different from this commodity of our daily lives. A life of blinding artificial light, surrounded by the buzzing sound of air conditioning vents, crowds and the beeping of various machines, to finally come home to try and find some comfort and warmth thanks to some invisible, electromagnetic waves.

Daydream Time

Wed, 19 Mar 2025 14:00:00 GMT

Daydream time is a sound experience which connects childhood memories from five young adults; Ma, Moyue, Camille, Polina and Noé. This group comes from different areas from the planet, passing through China, Russia and ending up this dreamlike trip in Europe.

The podcast is composed of 5 distinct sounds which echo to different minds and the memories of listeners. Sounds are decomposed and recomposed, passing from cow bells to train stations, bicycle wheels and to the waves of the sea, to come and form one entity of memory.

This experience aims to share the childhood memories of the group but also to remind listeners of their own.

Have a good trip!

An everyday overwhelming feeling through the street

Fri, 07 Mar 2025 14:00:00 GMT

This is a transcription, a common feeling in the street, especially more common amongst women. The text is interpreted through three voices, reflecting and sharing quickly this experience through the streets.

In french: “I like to walk quickly”, to navigate between the twists and turns and the intrusive and abusive interactions of the street, of the unknown, of what we can’t control. Overwhelming, overstimulating, authoritarian, mixing inner thoughts and outer disturbances. Intense rhythms, dense sharing, creating an unstable climate for the listener.

Heartbeam

Wed, 05 Mar 2025 14:00:00 GMT

“Heartbeam” is a project collecting short stories, memories and feelings about lost love. We wanted to show the strength of nostalgia people have about very personal memories, anecdotes that brings them back to a place they were with special people for them. Whether it felt sweet, heartbreaking, joyful, surprising... They gave a lot of poetical and touching anonymous texts. Some were just a few words, some were very detailed... Leonore, Valentine, Camille, Martin and Agathe then to put their voices on these beautiful anonymous stories and reappropriated them. Martin also improvised a few notes on a piano to express the emotion we felt towards these stories that we read out loud. Kaylian put the project together by giving it a name, doing the editing, the podcast’s cover and the sound mixing. He builds the first on a software instrument, inspired by Martin Romand original cords heard in the second part.

By day as by night

Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:00:00 GMT

Slowly, softly, to the roll of the night's drums, we are led on a stroll through a French city. In this journey, urban sounds are instruments that blend with the strings of a guitar and bass. A musicalized poem in follows the footsteps echoing against an escalator. A voice guides us along its nocturnal path, sometimes getting lost in someone else's thoughts, sometimes drowning in the crowd. And always returns. Slowly, we follow.

Doppelgänger

Wed, 19 Feb 2025 14:00:00 GMT

We have decided to create a listening experience based on the Doppelgänger. We wanted to create something unsettling with a strange atmosphere, the goal is not to create something scary but something that can create stress. The doppelgänger is a creature who looks like you, a double of yourself. It’s a creature from German and nordic folklore and mythology. It’s a double with bad attention who can be a sort of twin or another self that is in you, like in The Strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. We choose to use the form of a child, an innocent person that normally we protect but here it’s of him that we want to escape.

The sound is here to go with the sensation and emotion we wanted the listener to feel. We have also placed the idea of temporal loop and dream that comes with a personal mental space shared between the two doubles.

Getting Older

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 14:00:00 GMT

The podcast is about how we received, seen or imagined what getting older feels like. This is a text about living with the thought of dying, very close to you.

This is about how you lived your life, maybe not as you thought it would be. It’s about being ignored or left behind, feeling dead while you still hear the clock ticking and ticking. It is about looking at the past, living the moments over and over again, a constant loop, in which you must live in to carry on.

The synth is the memory, the past. The ticking is unstoppable. The warm, soft, ancient music, the comfort of the life you used to live in. The bird clock, a reminder to live in the present, even if it’s the same bore as yesterday: the family dinner, the same silence. This is an unfixable thought machine.

And then, death? Or, is it an after life? Do we ever die? The body is rotting, but is it the same for the soul? The music is scratching, bells are ringing, worms are crawling, flies are feasting. Will we ever be remembered?

This podcast is really inspired by the work of The Caretaker, Everywhere at the end of time. It’s a very long ambient/music/artistic project about the feeling of living with Alzheimer's disease.

For the sounds, we mainly recorded it by ourselves, but some of them were found on free sound effects online websites like youtube or BBC sound effects.

Flow of Thoughts

Fri, 07 Feb 2025 14:00:00 GMT

"Flow of Thoughts" is a creative and introspective project designed to explore and document the evolution of our thoughts throughout the day over the course of a week. Using a structured and precise process, we captured our thoughts at three specific times each day: 11:00 AM, 4:00 PM, and 9:00 PM. The goal of the project was to reflect on how our mental state, emotions, and perspectives shift depending on the time of day, our activities, or external circumstances. By focusing on these fixed intervals, we created a framework to observe patterns, contrasts, and transitions in our thinking.

Each thought recording session was guided by a consistent methodology, ensuring that we could accurately trace and analyze the progression of our inner flow. This systematic approach allowed us to highlight recurring themes, fleeting moments of clarity, or unexpected shifts in mood and focus.

Ultimately, "Flow of Thoughts" reveals the dynamic nature of the mind and provides a deeper understanding of how our thoughts interact with time and daily life.

Kaztoo

Wed, 05 Feb 2025 14:00:00 GMT

We made a pun on the name of the podcast because we used kazoo and ‘tout casser’ in French. The podcast is about the links between childhood and punk and anarchism. Our 1st audio experience is a nursery rhyme that we parodied into a punk version. Then for the next ones we went to a primary school to interview pupils using metaphors about the climate crisis, fascism and authoritarianism, all introduced by contextual noises.

Echoes of the Void

Sat, 01 Feb 2025 14:00:00 GMT

For this sound project, our group started from the idea of audio logs, which are commonly used in video games to immerse the player. They are used to give lore elements, to explain what happened in past events or even to give hints. After sharing our ideas on which story we would like to tell, we proceeded to work with a story creation method that Max used while roleplaying : each of us gave elements about how the story would unfold. One person chose the area where the action will take place, another person chose the context, someone else the reason for the space journey, etc... At this point the idea of audio logs was a little bit tuned down and we focused on the dialogs.

To create the script for the dialogs, we developed a workflow with an audio recorder and someone had the mission to type what was being said. Using a very small character context (including name, age, mission role) The idea was to try giving a natural tone to the discussion. After finishing the first draft out, we used some foley sounds in the montage to give some depth and ambient sounds. After listening to it, we thought back about the audio logs idea and proceeded to develop the rest of our different audio files around this thinking.

What’s next ?

We thought this excerpt from a story could be developed into an installation later, using Unreal Engine 5 to model in 3D the space where the action takes place or to create other pieces present in the podcast to give volume to the sound work.

This project takes place in our distinct environments, which may seem ordinary to one person but turn into something strange for others. Not having the ability to see or hear for oneself can be unsettling and provoke sudden emotions—fear, anxiety, or even feelings of repulsion. Trusting the voices of others becomes a painstaking task, as our eyes take precedence over theirs, and their voices.

This project also draws from the writings of Witold Gombrowicz, reflecting the nature and afflictions of humanity: the loss of trust, the creation of lingering anxieties born from the trivial details of one's surroundings, details that had never before been worth contemplating.

Echo Vibrance

Wed, 29 Jan 2025 14:00:00 GMT

Resonance, chimes, rhythm and rhymes, click and clock and wham and knocks... All around sounds are dancing and if only we could take some time, away from our obligations, forgetting our ‘must-do's’, dancing them away, then we’d appreciate those useless and futile whispers which melody recommends us to listen, not only hear, a totally different song. Only when we listen with our soul, only then our ears can translate them to the heart, only then can the magic occur.

Resonance, chimes, rhythm and rhymes, clic and clock and wham and knocks... Depending on the person, depending on their special story, the music of these tunes will connect with a memory, a smell, a vision. It works for all, with the exception of the single one who has never lived. This is why we call it resonance. It shakes the metal bar as well as our soft organs, like instruments of our existence, and vibrates through our being.

A special song for each of us. Close your eyes, let the sound run as fast as time, the latter is not that important. Detach yourself from schedules and machines and clocks and all which doesn’t sing. Close your eyes and listen to them, before it is too late. Listen.

Miroir

Fri, 24 Jan 2025 14:00:00 GMT

The sound project Miroir is a collaborative project where two computer players confront their respective mechanics. The general idea was to capture sound elements inherent to both individuals through repeated activities of our routines. Video games are very visual, but they are also auditory, and it is the sound aspect that intrigued us. Through a minimalist approach, we aimed to overlay our responsive attitudes to these various situations, experienced and perceived differently depending on the individual. What happens for one, as much as for the other, in a more or less identical timeframe, while engaged in the same task ? The 15 minutes correspond to a compromise in duration. For one, this time corresponds to the more or less typical length of a multiplayer match in the game Smite, in arena mode, where two teams battle until the point count ends by subtraction. For the other, this time corresponds to farming a dungeon in the game Path of Exile 2, where at the end, there is a boss fight. This sonic overlap and these different rhythms encourage paying more attention to the details, in order to try to build sound tracks and make connections with the various repeated actions.

The sound experience offers an immersive journey into the everyday life of a character. By isolating and highlighting the ambient sounds of their environment, it creates an evocative sense of place and draws the listener into the character's world. The experience is designed to emphasise themes of mystery and intrigue, it lets the environment speak for itself to give the listener a deeper connection with the narrative.

Through the window

Mon, 01 Jul 2024 01:33:55 GMT

Traveling can be relaxing, enriching, and, above all, fun. But when it comes to daily commutes, an imbalance is felt. Through the everyday train window, my senses have lost the pleasure of being stimulated for the first time by an external element, a sound or a landscape, which have become nothing more than memories. In this podcast, I take the time to review how a video work helped me rediscover not my daily travels, but my own perceptual memories created by these travels.

The mystery of art studies

Mon, 24 Jun 2024 01:03:33 GMT

When we meet people who don’t know anything about art studies during events like vernissage, they always ask the same questions about how it is. So with this podcast we wanted to demystify art studies, art school. Even for the futur art students. And for everyone who have no idea of this. To this end, we ask to two student at the end of cycle, Max Lelostec, in third year and Théo Pollaert, in fifth year ; how they wanted to come to art school? What they do actually, what is their practice ? And, what they wanted to do after the art school ? What is their professional project?

Red Straw

Wed, 12 Jun 2024 01:03:58 GMT

This podcast is like an ad for a fictitious travel company written, recorded and edited by Maiwenn Vermeulen and Oskar Podkowska.

The story centers around Brenda, a rich girl who has been expelled from her dad's house because she's an awful spoiled kid. She goes to a village named Happytown where she can have a new life, thanks to a “Travel” company named Redstraw. Brenda is supposed to be a customer that can give testimony about her experience with Redstraw.

This podcast is divided into multiple episodes, where Bill Sunshine, an animator, comments on Brenda's testimony. Each episode gets weirder than the previous ones, and the supposed new and fresh start offered to Brenda by Redstraw, ends up being a nightmare.

Fictive characters :

Brenda and Evelyn played by Maïwenn
Bill Sunshine, George, Linus played by Oskar

Brenda’s, Evelyn’s, George’s and Linus’ texts written by Maïwenn.

Bill Sunshine’s text written by Oskar.

The Intimacy of Childhood Memories

Mon, 10 Jun 2024 01:33:12 GMT

Ninon Boulanger, Lou Maerten & Ferdinand Larat's podcast is based on different works of art about childhood.

Whether songs, poems, tales, books, we allowed ourselves the freedom to choose any work as long as it dealt directly or indirectly with the theme of childhood. The idea was to explain the link we had with this work, when we discovered it, what it represented for us, if it was linked to certain elements of our life, and then to interview someone outside of our group and the English class, and to question their own connection with the work.

The goal behind this approach was to collect different perspectives around the same work, to see the differences in points of view, perhaps linked to questions of generation, experience, or culture, and therefore to see how works of art can affect people differently, positively or negatively.

The theme of childhood is recurrent in our respective work at ESA, which is why we quickly agreed on it. Moreover, it is a broad theme, which has been treated by a lot of artists with different processes (writers, painters, poets, etc.).

We have decided to work second hand because it’s something that is important to talk about. Second Hand has made a big place in your way of consume, before it was because of money issues, today with influencers and ecology everybody looks into secondhand but there are problems with that. People who sell fast fashion to buy another cloth the day after, stores who call themself second hand but have scandalous prices, or people who buy on second hand site websites every week which in the end are not ecological.

Yoko Uno

Wed, 29 May 2024 01:33:49 GMT

This podcast is a fictional report about a fictitious competition that we imagined. The scene takes place during an international championship of the card game Yoko Uno, a fusion of the popular game Uno and the artist Yoko Ono. In this game, numbers are replaced by letters that players must shout out when they play them. It's a conceptual blend of neo-dadaism and fluxus, presented in a contemporary manner. We drew heavily from pop culture references, intertwined with art history. We portrayed all the characters and crafted a fantastic soundscape using freely available sounds from the BBC. Additionally, we incorporated Lionel Richie's song "All Night Long," which we slowed down to avoid copyright issues, similar to the approach of Patrick Zadou, the fictional inventor of Yoko Uno.

Both "Le Petit Journal" and "Quotidien" use humor and irony to analyze current events and political figures, often providing a critical perspective on the news. Additionally, both shows feature offbeat interviews with politicians and public figures, aiming to provide insight into their personalities and views through unconventional means.

As I was reading « Visages, du masque grec à la greffe du visage » by Dominique Baqué, I realised how much the face (le visage) influences how we interact and think about each other. While watching the work of Paul McCarthy, Cindy Sherman and Orlan, I saw how much transforming ourselves can be used as a statement and a voice against... Pretty much anything. After all this time I decided that, if I can’t make myself face what I’m against, I should make a face that will. And here they are...

This podcast is a little bit like a drama show. We created a character named Alice and set a story about her being trapped in a dark room while playing games with her little brother. She is looking for a key to get out by touching every object in the room. Through this drama, we try to create an atmosphere that leads the audience on an experience together with the character.

During the key searching, we hear a monologue and the sounds of different objects coming from different directions in the room. By touching objects and making noises, the character recalls some memories and even begins to communicate with some objects.

Some thoughts after montage:

The challenges of this project are mainly about two parts, the script writing and the recording.

For script writing, we struggled a lot with the character setting, the age, the identity, the background story and also the storyline itself. Without any script writing and acting experience, we found that it is hard to let the audience understand what happened only by listening without watching and at the same time set the story logically. After some brainstorming and trying to write a very dramatic story, we decided to keep the story a little bit simpler than imagined, a story that is more close to a real day of a real person.

And for recording, before the actual recording, we set a route according to the script and ran over it a few times to make sure everything worked. We also set a few obstacles in the room to pretend the environment the character was in. Even after all the preparations, we always found new problems when we actually started recording, like the speed and volume when speaking, the tone, the emotion…every detail was important. And we tried different ways to reduce the rustle sound by changing the position of the recorder. For the montage, we used the pan effect to create and emphasize different directions of sound.

The thread of insomnia

Tue, 09 Apr 2024 16:00:22 GMT

It was during a short period as roommates that Léa Dromas and I (Sacha Picavet) realised that we were both prone to insomnia.

Whether synchronised or out of sync, these moments were for us sort of pauses, moments suspended in the night. It is during this silence that every sound seemed louder.

Both of us are accustomed to working with thread. Whether it is crochet or embroidery, the night offers us an opportunity to practice. What else could we do? Thread arts are a way to occupy time, in keeping with the serenity of the night.

But like the needle that crosses the canvas, the sound repeatedly pierces the peace.

The scratching on the canvas, the scissors that cut the thread, the needles that scratch the fiber before piercing it and the fabrics that are torn create an atmosphere that is in harmony with rest. Which accompanies those who witness it in an almost meditative state.

In this podcast we invite you to accompany us during our insomnia. Join us, through this attention to sounds, to the creation and manipulation of textiles. Immersed in this timeless and sometimes solitary world...

Rehash

Sun, 18 Feb 2024 20:14:05 GMT

Théo Pollaert, Lola Demazeux and Minna Mercier, talk about rehash as a negative way to interpret the repetition of something.

Our podcast is about our everyday life, which represents to us either a rehash of comfort, which leads to boredom; a rehash of all the faces that appear to us day by day, which make us realise that we actually don’t really know what they look like; or a rehash of all the objects and spaces that we explore all day long in our home, which make us fall into a kind of madness. We are interested in the way that recurrence affects us. This podcast is a way for us to reflect on how to break our automatic gestures that appear due to repetition, and furthermore, how to re-discover something that we got used to.
