Description
A Journey for Music to the Most Remote Places on the Planet
The chords of Ludovico Einaudi's piano echoing from a glacier, electric blues of the African desert, music that travels through interstellar space, songs lost and rediscovered on a volcanic island, a ghost town that witnessed the birth of the group ABBA, melodies in an underwater cave, Hawaiian echoes that enchanted Elvis, a sound archive hidden in an Arctic bunker, the yodeling that inspired singer Björk, Siberian punk from the coldest city in the world...
This book is an adventurous journey across continents for music that grows from the landscape, climate, and ancient rituals. It tells of places that are distant not only geographically but also in human experience, yet still resonate with something familiar within us.
The stories, illustrations, and maps invite readers to listen to distant landscapes, but also carefully curated playlists available through QR codes.
