In the stillness of glacial silence, I submerged a hydrophone into the frigid waters of Jökulsárlón. What emerged were ghostly murmurs and cracking sighs—an underwater symphony of ice in slow motion.  I managed to captured the fragile breath of a disappearing world, heard only by those who dare to listen below the surface.

On the edge of Sicily, closer to Africa than to Rome, I chased the invisible. Pantelleria, an island carved by wind and time, became a vast studio of silence and gusts. Wind, I learned, has no voice of its own—it needs something to touch, to shape its breath. I wandered through volcanic cliffs, between ancient stone walls and cactus spines, listening for resonance. Hours passed together with my sound recorders and binaural microphones as I searched for the places where the wind could speak. 

In a world filled with noise, even stillness has become elusive. I traveled to Japan drawn by the almost mythical presence of quiet—knowing that capturing it would be both a technical and spiritual challenge. With sensitive pre-amps and careful patience, I wandered through Shinto temples where quiet sounds are a must. I recorded the soft rustle of footsteps on stone, the breath of prayers, the distant ring of bells suspended in time. These sounds are barely there, but in their subtlety, they speak volumes. In Japan, I fell in love with the fragile beauty of what most never hear.

In a world where nearly every sound has already been captured, why keep recording? Why chase echoes, sit in silence, wait for something that may never come? It is a great feeling to hear a sound not just as noise, but as texture, as presence. Sound moves people and it resonates deep inside, like music without melody. The pursuit of hidden sounds takes me to forgotten places, into stillness, into motion. It asks for patience. For presence. For closed eyes and open ears.

This is more than work—it’s an adventure I hope I will never stop seeking.

Have a listen at some of the sounds I have recorded in the past few years. 

PS - Wear headphones if you can - some recordings are binaural.
