Right in your ears, like you are walking there yourself.
Uncover your cognitive response to dynamism
Imagine the microphone in motion as you are walking there yourself, meandering through bustling streets, little villages, vibrant squares, nature and bridges. Each soundscape boasts its unique energy and sonic identity, captured through recordings made while strolling through its core—ushering you into a dynamic realm of auditory exploration.
The soundscape, shaped by technological progress and dynamics, holds a profound influence on our cognitive experience. The chit chatting, the different languages, the sound of traffic, the complete silence, the reverberate of the streets or mountains make each walk unique.
Incorporate the dimension of spatial dynamics into the auditory experience, as the environment undergoes transitions, causing voices or birds to approach and fluctuate amidst unforeseen obstacles and varied sound sources.
This combination and movement contributes to a dynamic and immersive sonic landscape.

We recommend using headphones
We use our extensive and ongoing research into the application of sound on our well-being to inspire us to create our experiences:
Relationship between dynamism and cognitive perception
By listening to one thing at a time and rapidly switching attention from one sound to another improves the elasticity of the brain.
This is enhanced by the fact the recording is dynamic and all the sounds are natural occurring sounds. So a way to say it is that your brain is going to a mental gym and training your auditory attention.
Choose the Drones version if you are looking for a more relaxing experience.

The benefits of soundwalking
Through the lens of spatial city or village sound, the rhythm of human life can be decoded and pave the way for a more mindful engagement with our surroundings.
The intersection of auditory heritage with urban evolution also offers a fertile ground for designing healthier, more harmonious environments.
