HOW DID THIS IDEA COME UP?

The PERIPATO* Project was born this spring, in which isolation and fear have engulfed the hearts and minds of most of us,  Octopus Odyssey and King Uther's Sons included. As with all natural phenomena, only the most resilient friendships resist corruption and can thrive through difficult times.  
Our correspondance started first supporting each other through our individual meditation practice, reconnecting with oneself when everything around felt like it was crumbling – meditating together at distance helped us to be more present and aware of the intensity of the surrounding environment. We were not alone. How could we forget about it? Easy mistake to make you might say…  Our reborn amazement and passion for sounds, strong need for connection, well-being and freedom of imagination have guided us into this liminal world. Our performative background has intertwined with the majestic world of: lost&found, created or imagined sounds and spoken word in order to create an audio fooling experience – an emotional journey between the inner and outer world. Audio work can affect us like a lover whispers into our ear, through the simple magic of headphones. 

WHAT ARE WE DOING? 

 We gather and harvest sounds, creating tracks of various lengths for a full body & mind immersive experience. It is a seed of awakening and inner awe that we yearning to plant. Where can you find these creations? We would like to spread & scatter the seed in a form of biodegradable QR codes, that you can find on gates, posts and turnstiles on a hike in the woods, or on a lamppost, telephone booth or park bench during your walk in the city, recasting your journey through a site, giving you a fresh pair of glasses to see the world through. 

WHY ARE WE INTERESTED IN IT? 

 We are eager to create a bridge between inner world and outer world – giving ourselves permission to be fluid and not restricting our imagination in any specific category. It is a Neo-ancient way of creating connection and compassion towards ourselves, an integral part of the nature even if years of dissociation may have tried to prove the opposite. 

*Peripato in ancient greek history was the walk in the Lyceum where Aristotle taught to observe the world through the lense of metaphysics.
