Presentation of the book ‘Sounds of the world. Travel by hearsay’ by Carlos de Hita

With a long history of 30 years as a specialist in recording the sound of nature and the soundscape, Carlos de Hita offers in this book, microphone in hand, a chronicle of the world, in which the reader listens and discovers how natural and cultural landscapes tell a different story.

The deserts of Africa, the voices of the elephant seals and penguins in Patagonia, Argentina, the rain in Brazil, the three holy cities of India, the misty mountains of China, the city of Venice, the volcanic tremor in Cumbre Vieja, on the island of La Palma…

Reconstruct memories, select the elements, play with the tempo, stretch or shorten the silences, in short, build a story. And give it a literary form so that the two formats, heard and written, tell the same story. “This book is nothing more than a reconstruction of my memories,” says Carlos de Hita.
