This presentation explores the integration of ecological awareness into musical practices through three research-creation projects conducted as part of a doctoral study. Drawing on methodologies inspired by the "art of noticing," (Tsing 2015) the projects emphasize attentiveness to the living and establish transdisciplinary bridges between music, ecology, and community engagement. The first project, "LICHENS: A Gardener’s Listening", connected gardening practices with sound perception in the MSH Paris Nord "garden in motion," fostering ecological and artistic awareness through collaborative workshops with ESAT gardeners. The second project, "Murmuring Barks: Composing a Garden of Sounds", transformed field recordings from urban wastelands into immersive, multichannel soundscapes, using granular synthesis to highlight biodiversity and auditory polyphony. The third, "Mycelium Garden: Co-Composing with the Living", employed bioelectric signals from mycelium networks to influence real-time electroacoustic compositions, challenging anthropocentric perspectives and exploring interspecies co-creation. These projects collectively demonstrate how listening can serve as a sensible mean for ecological engagement, proposing ways of "making-garden" in music by integrating artistic, ecological, and scientific perspectives to deepen our connection with the human and non-human living.
