Proofs in for 'The Sound Atlas: A Guide to Strange Sounds across Landscapes and Imagination' by @michaelavieser.bsky.social & @ekostories.bsky.social, a wonderful book of 36 short essays on sound in place & imagination I commissioned @reaktionbooks.bsky.social. Let me know if you’d like to review.
The Sound Atlas proof copyquote for publication without checking against the final book.
'The world is full of noises, and The Sound Atlas is a fascinating and resonant guide to many of its most extraordinary and beautiful ones. - Caspar Henderson, author of A Book of Noises: Notes on the Auraculous
Nature writers Michaela Vieser and Isaac Yuen set out in search of sounds beautiful and loathsome, melodious and disturbing, healing, strange and intimate. The phenomena of sound may be fleeting and evanescent, but the memory of it can open a window into the soul, deepening our connections with time, the environment and each other. From the edge of the solar system to the crackle of arctic sea ice, from the ancient oracle site of Dodona to the singing pillars of Hampi, each of these thirty-six essays explores stories of sound through the lens of history, science and culture, stylishly blending fantastical facts and unique anecdotes to create a compelling narrative.
Michaela Vieser is a writer based in Berlin.
Her books include the German bestseller Tee mit Buddha (200g).
Isaac Yuen is a Hong Kong-Canadian writer.
His books include Utter, Earth: Advice on Living in a More-than-Human World (2024).

We did this program on loneliness for the European cultural channel Arte. Loneliness can also be a space to embrace, maybe even to rebel against hyper-capitalism. youtu.be/nWcBbFEzTZk?... @artefr.bsky.social

Grateful to us all for moving over to bluesky, us all keeping connected this way, sharing what we feel worth sharing. But to also support each other, when we feel hollowed out. It is us who make this space.
