Soundwalk is taking its holiday vacation until January… We’d like to leave you with some images from French magazine L’Officiel Voyage’s feature article on our latest sound piece Ulysses’ Syndrome, which we’ve discussed several times before on this blog.
In issue No. 23, Winter 2009, journalist Guillaume Fedou notes the way in which the project reimagines the picture of the Mediterranean as illustrated by Fernand Braudel, renowned French historian and author of The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II. The magazine elegantly presents a series of stunning photographs by Soundwalk founder Stephan Crasneanscki (interviewed here for Electronic Beats), and co-sailors Cesare Lombardo and Gabriele Guigni.
In our selection of pictures : the 30-meter long sailboat that hosted the Soundwalk expedition, and Soundwalk’s founder Stephan Crasneanscki and sound designer Simone Merli at work.
Happy holidays!

The Ulysses Syndrome is a sound journey. Following the route of Ulysses along the Mediterranean Sea, we return 3000 years later. Without being seen, hundreds of millions of soundwaves are constantly flying over the surface of the water. Equipped with radio scanners, we have spent the last few months casting a 10 mile net from our boat into the sky, collecting sound fragments and bringing them back in. What you are now hearing is the shifting of moods as we cross the small Island of Ithaca Greece.
We hope you enjoy this poetic journey. Stay tuned…
