Am I still citizen of Montreal?! During 8 years, I Am I still citizen of Montreal?! During 8 years, I lived in this city and I still officially reside there but I haven't spent more than 3 months there for the last 3 years. Throughout my stay in the city, I recorded the sounds of many places at various time of the year. Unlike Malaysia, all seasons are very marked and different. The sound library 'Montreal 365' is probably one of the most comprehensive city library that exists out there. I am very proud of this project, the recordings are very diverse and interesting. Have a listen, dive in the soundscapes of Montréal. #fieldrecording

It will allow  not to forget thoughts and experiences I live. I will write everyday but won't post everyday on social media about it. Just this one, because it's the first entry. I hopefully will follow unlike other initiatives I couldn't follow up with. This one seems the closest to my daily routine. https://soundxplorer.com/journal-entry-day-1

My hate/love relationship with technology is popin My hate/love relationship with technology is poping up on my mind lately. 
Has technology completely derived us from our true Nature?
But has technology also become the first vector of our reconnection with our environment? 
I am still tortured and amazed at the same time by our progresses.
Here in the world's oldest rainforest I hear no noise, only sounds.
The noble beauty of this art is that I don't have to steal them to able to bring them back with me! I feel so bless!

I got lost but I found a way.
A way to another reality,
Where life and happiness abounds to eternity.
Immersed by Sounds, Sight, and Smell, I reconnect with my true self,
No other cure, drugs, or therapy can achieve.
Immersed by Nature, I got reborn again.
