Immersive Sound Journeys Through Ancient Lands
11 Journeys · 33 Minutes Each · 363 Minutes of Listening
Journey through landscapes shaped by wind, sand, stone and time. DESERTS explores two distinct worlds: the ancient deserts of historical mystery, wildlife and monumental stone chambers, and the vast wilderness of the American Southwest, where wildlife, canyon echoes and dramatic desert weather define the soundscape.
From the stillness of ancient sands to the force of a sandstorm, each 33-minute journey offers a distinct environment to explore through sound.
