Enter the World of the “Sound of” Series.
The art of musicalizing urban identities — a global symphony of cities.
The Sound of Humanity, the Echo of Earth.
The «Sound of» series is an artistic practice that reimagines cities and regions as both orchestra and canvas, translating their identities into sound and image — from traditional elements to electronic and experimental forms — while fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and a global perspective. At its upper goal, the series seeks the sound of humanity and of the planet Earth itself, drawing from the past, resonating in the present, and envisioning the future.
