After I opened my car door, I heard a woodpecker tapping the nearest tree.
When I got off, I felt with my whole body a frontier between the place I live and the place I work. I am settled in a small village near Warsaw, where I have just arrived home from the city.
The woodpecker I saw drove me to seek sonoristic frontiers in my everyday life. I realised that I have become accustomed to many sounds and the way I hear them. Although plenty of them, metaphorically and literally, become frontiers.
