15 Early Mornings in Yangon

For the last Episode of the season we'll enjoy busy street sounds from a crowded early morning market in Yangon Myanmar's Chinatown. The vendors are selling all kind of exotic and unfamiliar fruits and vegetables as well as hunks of meat straight from the animal. The street is already crowed and bustling by 6am, when this Recording was made. Later you'll hear monks walking by, speaking into megaphones (04:15) and a line of young monks chanting (05:45) as they walk down the street in a line.

13 Late Night Thunderstorms

Today we're headed back to Nepal, to a little village called Bandipur. I stayed for a few nights at a cozy family run guesthouse which sat atop a hill. The view from there was magical. From my balcony I had a panoramic view of the lush green valley surrounding me (filled with trees, birds, and an entire bustling eco system). At night i would wake up to the sounds of thunderstorms descending down from the mountains. This is a recording of one of those nights.

11 Birdsounds from Morocco, India and Nepal

When going through my archives the other day I noticed how many of my Field Recordings, both in the City and out in the Countryside have the sounds of animals in them. Birds take center stage and are especially prominent and lively in today's recordings. In this Episode I put together a mix of Recordings with Bird Sounds from Morocco (01:25) India (04:10) and some very strange Nepali (13:52) Birds.

10 Religious Surround Sound

While exploring Kathmandu, one of the guesthouses where I stayed was cornered by 3 Tibetan Monasteries. 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 you today.

07 Village Music in Nepal

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 here is what i captured.

00 Welcome to Sunday Silence

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. Active listening allows us to somehow merge with it. You are welcome to join me on this Journey from Silence to Sound. New Episodes every Sunday.
