This is an album of sound recordings, made in six different countries, edited into sonic short stories and soundscapes – from
South Korea 대한민국
Japan 日本
China 中国
Thailand ประเทศไทย

Mongolia Монгол улс
Cylvi M at Buddha’s foot, Kyoto 京都

I subsequently lived in Okinawa in 2011–2012, and travelled further around Kyushu and Honshu.
