Make friends with the ‘Great Animal Orchestra’
The Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art is offering seven extracts from soundscapes from the installation ‘Le Grand Orchestre des Animaux’. The hammering of woodpeckers at 2,000 metres, the percussive barking of baboons and exchanges between packs of wolves... open your ears and be inspired by the acoustic harmony of nature.
Take a dive with the National Maritime Museum
Thirsty for sea air? Embark on a journey with ‘L’Ecume des Notes’. Every week, the National Maritime Museum is sharing a soundtrack inspired by an aquatic theme. The first one heads straight into the strange underwater world. Enjoy the psychedelic rhythms of electro group Air and the synth-pop of Flavien Berger. Perfect for falling asleep to.
Bring a Symphony Orchestra into your living room
For a happy wake-up, there’s nothing like a good tune. While waiting to perform their next concert at the Loire Valley’s Fabrique Opéra, the Unexpected Symphony Orchestra has delivered an ‘at home’ version of “Qu’est-ce qu’on attend pour être heureux?” (“What are you waiting for to make you happy?”), an irresistible French song from 1938. Then continue with the Frappés du Sol pop-up choir performing Jacques Higelin’s “Champagne” – any excuse to crack open a bottle!
