THE SOUNDSCAPES OF RESILIENCE EP by Sound Matters by SOUND MATTERS - Listening, for a better world.

Sound Matters presents ‘The Soundscapes of Resilience' EP comprising 6 tracks that integrate the sounds of landscape restoration (soil, water and biodiversity) with sounds, voices and music recorded in the ALVELAL territory (in the High Steppe Plains of southern Spain) and mixed with organic and electronic beats. The sounds of regeneration start slowly in every track acquiring strength and complexity following the return of life to degraded landscapes. Some tracks invite you to dance to the beat of the regeneration of life while others invite you to listen peacefully, but all of them transmit the essence of ALVELAL and the hope that ecosocial restoration in degraded areas is possible. The track 'Soil Composer' uses sounds generated by soil health parameters to paint a sonic picture of the life-force of soils and their importance in creating flourishing landscapes and communities in the ALVELAL region.
