music and bodies in trance

---

During my personal travels between 2018 to 2020, I recorded one minute of ambient sound in various places to practice being still and appreciating what's around me, especially the so-called 'noise' which, although often ignored, can be quite rich when paying closer attention. The photos are just for fun and not necessary.
