Residency #3: Germ (France) | July 20-26 2026 | Coordinated by Muzzix
The aim of this residency is to encourage sound artists to shift their creative practices by making the natural environment – in this case, the French Pyrenees mountains – a driving force of the artistic process.
They will experiment with new approaches and musical forms while highlighting the richness of the natural heritage. Their work will also seek to foster new connections with the sonic environment, the territory and its history, as well as with local residents and hikers. Over the course of seven days, the artists will carry out sound explorations and actions in nature, and will host public gatherings where they collectively share, through sound, the experience of this immersion.
For this residency, artists may be required to walk in the mountains for 2 to 4 hours a day with their equipment and instruments, so it is necessary to be in good physical condition and technically self-sufficient (battery-powered amplifier, acoustic instruments, etc.). Artists must also bring their own mountain hiking equipment (backpack, shoes, etc.). A list of the minimum mountain equipment required will be sent to the selected artists.
