Things and Sound was conceived from the memory of my grandmother’s house, a place once full of life that eventually became empty. What remained inside were ordinary objects, no longer used and no longer heard. This project invites participants to step into a symbolic house, to open its doors again, and to listen to the silent presence of those objects, giving them new life through sound experimentation.The workshop space is imagined as a house, with different “rooms” marked on the floor. In each room, a suitcase holds everyday objects: kitchen utensils, natural materials, toys, forgotten things that reveal surprising sonorities when handled. Participants, working in groups, explore the objects, discovering rhythms, textures, and even hidden melodies.The journey begins with a moment of attentive listening: the group sits together in silence, surrounded by recorded sounds of the night - cicadas, crickets, owls - that open a space of presence and sensitivity. From there, the suitcases are opened and the exploration unfolds. First, each group experiments freely, imagining voices, emotions, or stories for the objects. Then the house fills with sound, chaotic at first, before gradually moving into forms of collective organization: one room responds softly, another enters in dialogue, until all participants find ways to play together, listening and adjusting to one another.At its core, Things and Sound is both an artistic and educational proposal. It resonates with R. Murray Schafer’s (1994) notion of the soundscape, inviting a renewed sensitivity to the sonic environment; with Salomé Voegelin’s (2010) philosophy of listening, which frames sound as an ephemeral and relational encounter; and with Walter Thompson’s Soundpainting (2006), which offers a shared language for collective improvisation. Yet it is equally rooted in memory, affect, and imagination, demonstrating how the intimate textures of everyday life can become material for both education and art.By transforming ordinary objects into instruments, the workshop connects the personal with the collective, bridging memory and creativity, home and school, play and reflection. It offers participants an accessible way to rediscover attentiveness, inventiveness, and the joy of making music together. In this sense, Things and Sound is not only about sound itself but about cultivating a way of listening - sensitive, creative, and shared - that can shape how we relate to each other and to the world around us.
