Sonic Mythology is an independent publication developed during the summer residency Sounds like a book 2019 in Șona, Romania. The publication gathers regional myths, particularly expressed through sounds, from the village and treats them as units in the construction of a sonic mythology. The juxtaposition of these sonic elements (soundscapes, human voices, animals, objects & tools) becomes a polyphony that quotes Levi Strauss’ structural analysis of myth. The body of the book contains the field research conducted in Șona. The black stripes are made with electrically conductive paint which, when connected to a pre-programmed touch board, triggers sound fragments by tactile interaction.
