Abstract: No matter what, Listen! Is an artistic project that invites to an exploration into the sensorial landscape that the no-sound at the same time fills the voids with other nuances of silence in our everyday life. It is a phonographic experience, that tries to interfere into the small seams of the landscape of the silence that surround us. That conjugated wisely helped the artist to materialize it into a variety of new sounds and to abstract narratives of it into the everyday life. The result is a variety of codices that are almost not detectable for the human ear, that brings the visitor to discover the sounds of the electromagnetic fields of the local environment, where the artist leads them to. The creative process of this project runs amongst others, with an initial deep analysis of the sound anthropology of the territory where this project takes place, that is la Vall del Llémena in the province of Girona, Spain. The artist has a deep rooted links with this area, cesc sidera (Girona, 1975), and with his work he is predominantly looking for empowering the conservation, visualization and diffusion of the immaterial sound heritage of the 'terroir' and to the most abstract areas of this volcanic landscape where he lives. The artistic and sensorial itinerary has ten 'sound objects' carefully placed in digital platforms where they can be listen, downloaded and even gives the visitor the choice to manipulate them and share them to initiate new ways and sounds in-within the sounds that are not controlled of guided by the artist neither with the sound landscapes he carefully choose. However, No matter what, Listen! interpellated the spectator to start an open active listening, that is magnified trough an interactive graphic cartography, where he helps to give access to all the information and sound contents/frames of the project. Through this cartography the flâneur (W. Benjamin), anonymously he or she will be guided trough a set of tools that will allow them to access the process that artist used to reach and to associate a unique collection of auditive experiences. This will help the spectator to experience a new 'sound memories' that intimately are related to this unique landscape, that the artist call it sound 'aura'. By leading this the strategy, the artist manages to transform a unique landscape into an organic concert hall, as he describes it as the Temple of Aurality.
