Atlas of remote sounds
by Víctor Terrazas; González Macías (illustrator)
Description
The piano chords of Ludovico Einaudi on an iceberg, the electric blues of the African desert, music traveling through interstellar space, the lost songs of a volcanic island, the ghost town that saw the birth of ABBA, the melodies of an underwater cave, the Hawaiian echoes that captivated Elvis, sound archives hidden in an Arctic bunker, the yoiks that inspired Björk, punk from the world's coldest city...
Maps and music tell us more about ourselves than we think. They are much more than a surface or a sound spectrum to locate ourselves. They show how arbitrary a border can be, but also how close and connected we are to each other. Stunning maps and illustrations by González Macías, the author from A Brief Atlas of the Lighthouses at the End of the World.
An adventure in search of those distant, exotic, or strangely familiar sounds capable of moving us.
