Last summer I visited the island of Kithira and stayed there for a few days. Besides the expected “beautiful sunny beaches”, which, I have to admit, I don’t really like that much, the island also offered some quite more interesting landscapes (and soundscapes of course), like the one near the village of Mylopotamos. The little river and the summer insects provided an ideal soundtrack for a summer’s day. Indeed relaxing, but also relatively loud, the “sounds of nature”, rich and full of micro-details, always attract my attention and motivate me to record them. That’s a far better way to spend my holidays than getting sunburnt on a –disturbingly- windy beach.
