Soundscapes

--:--
"Soundscapes" follows the research journey of all those involved, as stories were recorded. It is unedited and real: an audioverité of experiences and collaborative meaning-making. Through unfiltered and authentic sounds captured in the field, is a kind of auditory tapestry of unscripted experiences and creative manifestations, moving with a fluid and almost tidal intelligence... "The ocean, we have found, is connected to all of us - but often not in the ways we expect it."
