Arslanbob, listening to an old walnut forest in Kirghizstan

In May 2025, I had the great chance to spend time in the largest walnut forest of Kirghizistan called Arslanbob to gather soundscapes for @saodatismailova 🎤🐹

With the best team, we spent time looking for rollers, golden orioles, rufous-naped tits and the calls of golden jackals… we also found the tiniest sound of the forest : a mouse eating a walnut 🥹

👂I’m also super happy that one of the recording won the Silver Fox of the Wildlife Sound Recording Society @wildlife_sound - I hope this award will bring more diversity to the field recording world ! 

🦉 You can listen to some of the recordings together with the winter ones of @gregoirechauvot in the piece « Seven Sleepers » of Saodat Ismailova.

In Nov 2026, I’m presenting some of the recordings at BOGA x Kunsthalle Bern, for the closing exhibition. More informations: https://kunsthallebern.ch/en/collective-learning/2026-9-11-kunsthalle-bern-x-boga

Huge thank you to Ariet and his family, Joldosh and Saodat to have taken me on this journey 🫰
