Luckily I am an early riser, because each day, as the sun rose, the monks would begin their daily meditation with drums and horns. And sunrise means between 5-6 o'clock in the morning. These are the sounds I recorded back then and am sharing with…

Eager to get away from the grit of Kathmandu I took a bus south to a tiny village called Pharping. It's a quiet town with only a few small shops, local restaurants and two or three guesthouses. Despite that, I was surprised by how lively the town is during the day. Especially on the main square. These country people really seem to enjoy music, so h…

I am on the road for two years now. Travelling the world, not with a plan in my head, but with a recorder in my hand. Sound has the unique way of reaching our minds, transmuting mental barriers, teleporting us to a place we have never visited before. Every place, be it a restaurant, a local bus or even a quiet room has a unique voice by itself. Act…
