The Sound Sails/Het Geluid Vaart, 2020, 2021, 2022
Created for the occasion of the Oerol-Festival, The Netherlands
Audio, 17 episodes of one hour long field recordings. Twelve episodes (2020 and 2021) recorded on the Dutch island Terschelling, five (2022) recorded on the Carribean island Curaçao.
Description
Imagine: you’re gonna lie back somewhere out there with your eyes closed. You listen, you feel the sun on your face.
This is ‘The Sound Sails’, a podcast that makes precisely that possible, wherever you are. Each episode consists of one hour of continuous sound, recorded somewhere on Terschelling. Every day a new hour: The surf, a meadow full of birds or a forest edge.
This way you can enjoy the island feeling, without inconveniences like rain, mosquitoes or thistles. We have already endured those for you.
With sounds, it’s almost as if they are somewhere else, but in fact, they travel all the time – the sound sails.
