(in)audible explores a variety of sounds on the periphery of human perception, including phenomena beyond our usual hearing range, "hidden" acoustic spaces, and "small" or unnoticed sounds. The project attempts to listen with other-than-human agents (species, energies, matters, things and technologies), engaging in alternative ways of listening.

The aural materials featured in the composition were created using different extended listening and recording strategies. It includes electromagnetic noise recordings, geophysical and atmospheric effects, matters in states of transition, structural vibrations, ultrasound, close-up, contact and underwater bioacoustic sounds.

All the original recordings were made at multiple locations in Spain, The Netherlands, Germany, and Slovakia from 2008 to 2012. The first version of the piece was commissioned by FONair (Cumbria, UK), with a premiere broadcast in January 2013. In addition, different headphone and spatial versions of the work (4, 8 and 16-channel) have been performed live and exhibited at multiple events in Wroclaw, Ljubljana, Brussels, The Hague, Heerlen, London, Kent, Belfast, Girona, Pontevedra, Porto, Viseu, and São Paulo, between 2013 and 2016.

Schism
by Cheryl E. Leonard

I sing the body electric. In these strange, stretched out, targetted days, the mix of of what we can touch and experience is muddled. A little but country, a little bit city. My laptop talks to me, while outside the bees collect pollen. Hiding in plain sight, with breath held, we wait for the exhale. Jan Jackson
