Soundscapes
Original Sound Baths & Audio Recordings
In 2020, Sonja Kanno launched the Innenwald project (Inner Forest project), which includes installation art, Indoor Forest Bathing, and intuitive painting workshops. To create a more immersive experience, Kanno began recording nature sounds from various natural environments. For the Innenwald Sound Bath, bird sounds were captured in Nara's primordial forest and combined with original instruments and computer-generated audio compositions, creating a unique and captivating soundscape for exhibition visitors and workshop participants to enjoy.
