Daily life in a city is defined by a series of sounds, loud or soft, more or less continuous, but all with a common feature. These sounds have a negative impact on our physical and mental health. Even though, and this is the worst part, we no longer even realize it.
In an attempt to escape from the chaos of the city, we’ll focus on the opposite of noise, which is not silence, because silence in itself does not exist, but rather on the ensemble of natural sounds, generally soft and delicate types of sounds, which for millions of years have been the only soundtrack of life on Earth and which we very rarely hear today.
So let’s try, for a few minutes, to tune out the noises brought on by a society of machines in order to listen, with affection and concentration, to the concert offered to us by Mother Nature.
