Residency #6 Germ - July 2026

ACCESS is a Creative Europe supported project coordinated by Muzzix (France), Sonoscopia (Portugal) and Unijazz (Czech Republic), aiming for more opened musical experiences for the audience. The aim of this residency was 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 experimented with new approaches and musical forms while highlighting the richness of the natural heritage. Their work 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 carried out sound explorations and actions in nature, and hosted public gatherings where they collectively share, through sound, the experience of this immersion.
