Soundscapes

Listening is a key part of my work. Through field recordings and the creation of soundscapes, I explore how places and moments can be understood through sound. This practice shapes my artistic and educational projects, offering new ways to perceive and reflect on the world.

Instead of a camera, I take a recorder with me when I travel. On this page, I share my sound projects from the past years. Whether in songwriting, museum work, or academic research — it is always the act of attentive listening and the question of how something sounds that fascinates me.

Córdoba 1023 CE — A Historical Soundscape

What might Córdoba have sounded like in the year 1023? Which languages filled the streets? Did carts creak over stone roads—and what kind of stones were they? How loud was the muezzin without loudspeakers? Did church bells ring alongside the call to prayer? And how do palm trees sound in a storm?

Inspired by the year in which Ibn Ḥazm—writer, philosopher, and jurist from Córdoba—published Ṭawq al-Ḥamāma (The Ring of the Dove), I created a historical soundscape as part of my bachelor’s thesis in Arabic Studies.

This project explored how materials, architecture, daily life, and multilingual environments might have shaped the acoustic world of a city at the end of the Caliphate of Córdoba.
It remains an example of how I approach soundscapes: by combining historical research and attentive listening to bring past sonic environments to life.
