A new plan, Sonic traditionHere is the way we experience the most identity places in the world. Presented last week, on World Heritage Day, this was the first world collection of the sound terrestrials of the announced places World Heritage for UNESCO And the elements of the abnormal cultural heritage.
Is in total 270 posts from 68 countriesFrom the gossip of the leaves in the ancient city of Guatemala, Tickel to the sharp conversation of the bats in the Quevas de Ellora in India. This initiative aims to divert the attention of the appearance of places towards its sound and what it tells us.
The organizers say, “The sound is usually a poor relative of tourism.” “We are ours The culture dominated cultureInstagram photo or video clip spins everything around where the clip is taken Dichdog“.
That pressure on the display is part of the reason for the creation of the project. When Excess tourism It continues to test some of the most wonderful places in the world, providing a new way of entering the Sonic Heritage: focusing on gaining the right angle in a quiet, more deep and refreshing.
“Stuart Fox. World heritage sitesYou are always thinking about the visual feature, but there is almost no attention to the sound of these sites. “
