A cinematic poem created from the travel diary of the multidisciplinary collective Acoustic Heritage Collective, following the pilgrimage through villages and monasteries of the poet Matsuo Basho in 18th-century feudal Japan. A sensory journey from memory to the heart of Japan, where some of the most representative haikus were created.

Guided by the Jules Verne novel “Voyage au centre de la Terre”, four friends set out to explore Snaefellsjökul Volcano in Iceland. However, as they journeyed through the country recording sounds, they found themselves having a series of profound and transformative experiences that exceeded their original expectations. The result of their trip is an immersive audio-visual narrative titled “Journey to the Center of the Sound,” which not only guides the audience through diverse Icelandic landscapes, but also invites them to embark on their own sensory journey.
