Yannick Dauby: Inaudible Chronicles

5 episodes in total. (Duration: 12 minutes per episode)

Closing the eyes, listen to the sounds around you…

But what about the sounds that exists beyond the reach of your ears?

What does it sound to be bat? Flying around tiny objects, hunting tiny preys, only by listening to echoes of ultrasounds…

Or living in a little pond as a beetle, singing among the noisy bubble of aquatic plants.

Being able to listen to the multitude of marine animals that live in a coral reef…

Or being able to hear the electromagnetic fields that pulses and squeaks near the metro station…

The vibrations of the metal inside antenna and lighthouses being blown by the wind of winter…

Those are elements of experience for a program about the inaudible.
