LISTEN HERE

EN ECOUTE ICI

Out come the wolves is the second sound piece of Nicolas Perret and Cédric Anglaret’s project The four seasons of Paanjärvi in which, since 2009, they focus on the soundscape of the small russian village of Paanajärvi. Isolated in the thick primary forest of oriental Karelia, Paanajärvi has somehow fallen out of the time. Its inhabitants, the last custodians of the disappearing Karelian culture, live a tough life that is strongly bond to the nature surrounding them.

Winters are harsh in Paanajärvi. At this latitude, the sun doesn’t show much and temperatures remain way below freezing for many months. As winter progresses food gets rare for the wolves. Out of the forest they approach the village at night to attack dogs, that the villagers try to protect by all means. As long as dogs are barking the wolves are still far; once they are silent they are nearby. In the winter of 2012, 23 dogs were eaten by the wolves in Paanajärvi.

Following Out come the wolves, a 6 minutes addition sheds light on the Man who eats dogs.

The four seasons of Paanjärvi is supported by SCAM, Défi Jeune, the Juminkeko Foundation and Radio Grenouille.

In 2007 Nicolas Perret and Cédric Anglaret have joined their practice of sound, documentary and music in a common project of collection, creation and diffusion. Since they work under the name La danse de l’ours. www.ladansedelours.blogspot.com

Out come the wolves est la seconde pièce du projet de Nicolas Perret et Cédric Anglaret Les quatre saisons de Paanajärvi, initié en 2009, autour du paysage sonore du petit village russe de Paanajärvi. Isolé au milieu des grandes forêts primaires de Carélie orientale, Paanajärvi est un village hors du temps où les habitants, derniers dépositaires d’une culture carélienne en train de disparaître, mènent une vie rude en étroite relation avec leur environnement naturel.

Les hivers sont durs à Paanajärvi. A cette latitude, le soleil se montre peu et les températures demeurent négatives durant de longs mois. Au fur et à mesure que l’hiver avance, les loups ne trouvant plus rien pour se nourrir en fôret se rapprochent du village et, la nuit venue, attaquent parfois les chiens que les villageois essayent tant bien que mal de protéger. Quand les chiens hurlent les loups s’approchent. Dès qu’ils se taisent – après quelques jappements effrayés – les loups sont là. Cet hiver là, 23 chiens ont été mangé dans le village.

A la suite de Out come the wolves, une seconde pièce de 6 minutes fait la lumière sur l’Homme qui mange des chiens. Les quatre saisons de Paanäjarvi a recu le soutien de la SCAM, Défi Jeune, Radio Grenouille et la fondation Juminkeko.

Depuis 2007 Nicolas Perret et Cédric Anglaret ont mis en commun leurs pratiques de la musique et du documentaire sonore dans un projet de collection, création et diffusion sous le nom de La Danse de l’Ours. www.ladansedelours.blogspot.com

of wild animals shouting towards singing of Earth…

Show 361: Monstres by bololipsum

Pas si loin, ils sont là, dans un monde parallèle. Ce documentaire animalier pénètre un univers virtuel, pas très loin de chez nous, chez ces sons mutants, ces êtres qui sont le fruit d’erreurs et de bugs.
Monstres propose un voyage dans les programmes et les circuits électroniques, entre le 1 et le 0, dans cet interstice, au gré du hasard où ils vivent, cachés comme des monstres.

2012 bololipsum & RadioGrenouille

Not so far, they are there, in a parallel world. This nature documentary enters a virtual world, not far from us, the home of these mutants sounds, these beings are the result of errors and bugs. Monstres offers a journey through programs and electronic circuits, between 1 and 0, in this crack, at the sandstone of chance where they live, hidden as monsters.

Show 340: And the sun came up

And the sun came up is the first sound piece of a project which, since 2010, focuses on the soundscape of the small Russian village of Paanajärvi. Isolated in the thick primary forest of oriental Karelia, Paanajärvi is somehow living out of the time and its inhabitants -among them the latest of the disappearing Karelian culture – live a tough life strongly bond to their environment.

In the beginning of May Paanajärvi plunges into spring. The snow eventually melts, the river breaks free from the ice and everyday, new birds arrive, new insects overrun the swamps quickly followed by thousands of frogs. For the inhabitants it’s time to go outdoor and resume their activities: preparation of the fields for the coming cultures, repairing and putting the row boats back to the river, fishing etc…

This is the first of four sound pieces that will each explore one season of Paanajärvi.

Since 2007 Nicolas Perret and Cedric Anglaret joined their own practices of sound, documentary and performative art into a common project of collection, creation and diffusion : La danse de l’ours.

The Four Seasons of Paanajärvi received support from the SCAM, Défi Jeune, the Juminkeko foundation and Radio Grenouille.
