about

"Sounds Of" is an anthology of field recordings from an imaginary island. What do the frogs, bus drivers, piano teachers, trees, movie theaters, grocery stores, stones and street musicians of Lyra sound like? "Sounds Of" cannot answer long questions but is here to help you create your own island.

"Sounds Of" is part of a wordless book "LYRA I" found in an island library. It includes "Sounds Of" (CD-r), a 45 minute film (DVD-r), a Multimedia Game, a Booklet of Drawings, an instrument, and a game of circles). LYRA I is part VII of the Almanac 2022.

"Sounds Of" recorded 2017-2021, published by Atrecerta (ASCAP).
