Jim Petit, compositeur-musicien

Jim Petit is a composer and musician. He is notably the creator of sound walks in the Mittlach woods (Mittlach forest and Upper Fecht lakes).

The sound walks offered in the company of the composer:

- A 5th season - superimposed seasonal soundscapes of Mittlach - easy and family-friendly. Stemming from the superimposition of each season's soundscapes recorded from September 2017 to November 2018, Jim invites walkers to discover the 12 listening points of this sound trail, where moments of gentle walking, headphone listening, and moments of pause alternate. Listening in situ to the 12 sound pieces of a 5th season, blend with the sounds of the actual soundscape at the moment the experience is lived by the listener for an immersive session between reality of the moment and transformation of the sound reality of each site. Another way to experience the forest and mountain landscape of Mittlach.
Price: €10/person, from 4 to 10 people/walk, headphones supplied. Every Monday and Tuesday by prior arrangement. Departure from the Val Neige restaurant parking lot in Mittlach. Easy and family-friendly, the trail follows existing paths without difficulty. 3 kms, approx. 3 h

- Au sons des lacs: soundscapes of the Fischboedle, Schiessrothried and Altenweiher lakes and electronic music based on dowsing pendulum analysis of the lake waters.
