by Gilles Aubry and Abdeljalil Saouli, created for Sakhra 2025.

Sound essay in French and Moroccan Arabic on seeds, taste, and food production in Moulay Bouchta, Morocco. Through exchanges with gardeners and farmers, Abdeljalil Saouli and Gilles Aubry explore seedlings as sentient entities bearing memories linked to taste, touch, and generations of interaction with humans and the environment. The piece combines spoken words, field recordings, conversations and modular synth sounds in a poetic speculation on living matter and interspecies relationships.
