écologies résonantes

An evening of music, field recordings and ecological listening with Anna McMichael & Felicity Wilcox

10 October 2026
Le Peloton Studio, Paris
Presented by Earthly Futures × Le Peloton Studio

What might we hear if we listen beyond the human?

Écologies Résonantes brings together violin, contemporary composition and sound design for an evening exploring the ways music can become a form of ecological attention.

Australian violinist and artistic researcher Dr Anna McMichael joins composer and artistic researcher Dr Felicity Wilcox for a programme moving between forests, oceans, ice and memory. Through solo violin, improvisation, composition and field recording, the evening considers sound not simply as music, but as a vehicle for expression for other species and environments.

The programme features Felicity Wilcox’s violin solos, To the Sea - commissioned for violinist Adrain Biemmi for the ground-breaking inaugural ANAM Set In Australia, and Currawong Call - a graphic score-based piece for flexible instrumentation and Wilcox’s recordings of currawongs near her Blue Mountains home, that draws on Pauline Oliveros’ concept of ‘deep listening’ as a response to nature. Anna will also present Inspired by the Weddell Seal, an ongoing artistic research project developed through her Climate Futures Artist Fellowship at the State Library of Victoria. Combining violin improvisation with underwater recordings of Weddell seals from McMurdo Sound, Antarctica, the work opens a sonic encounter with one of the world's most complex marine vocalists. Alongside custom sound design and field recordings developed by Anna McMichael, Felicity Wilcox and Earthly Futures.

During the performance, Anna and Felicity will join Earthly Futures director, Victoria Pham, for a conversation about artistic research, field recording, animal communication and the possibilities of listening as an ecological practice.
