Palawan Soundscape

  • Nicole Revel

Abstract

The subtle threads between Mankind and Nature involve all our senses and more particularly our auditive sensitivity. Capturing tonalities, rhythms, and melodies, we can like a bird fly down from the celestial vault to the Earth, dwelling-place of Highlander-islanders known as the Palawan who live in the southern part of the island by the same name. This aural voyage will take us to the realm of words, poetry, and music as human creations which the Palawan use to communicate in order to live harmoniously in this world.
