Inner Voice

For this trip, I want you to focus on what you hear
Please listen to me
Your inner voice
I will guide you

Close your eyes and listen carefully
Close your eyes and feel the sounds of the city
Take a deep breath and focus on what you hear
Let's dive a bit deeper, do you recognise any of the sounds?
What do you hear and what do you feel?

What do you do, day in, day out?
Are you busy? Are you too busy?
Maybe it's time to slow down a bit and listen
What do you hear? Do you hear your breathing?
Can you hear your heartbeat?
What if everyone just stopped... and listened?

Would you hear sounds?
Or would it be totally quiet?

Human noise is dominating our world
Will the natural soundscape remain to exist?

Are you making any sound right now?
In this moment?
Are you completely silent?
What do you think?
Listen to this...

Right now, it sounds like this underwater...
It sounds like this in the air...

And on land, it sounds like this...

When does sound become noise? And when does it distract us?
Constant background noise
Constant background noise
Listen around you. Listen around you!

Human noise is dominating our world
Will the natural soundscape remain to exist?

So what are you going to do?
Are you going to enter the noisy human world again
Or will you keep on listening to your inner voice?

Due to the sounds that we create
We force other species to alter the frequency of their voice...
Sometimes, even silencing them
Our noise inhibits the way animals communicate, navigate, and find their mate

Insects on a midsummer night
The sounds of waves hitting the shore
Listen to the birdsong
And the sounds of the trees

The symphony of mother nature is all around us
Just close your eyes and listen to Her voice
We want to inspire you to appreciate the beauty...
The beauty that is yet to be heard

After this trip, try to listen to the world around you
With your newfound awareness, like you never did before
It's up to you. How will your voice play a part in the soundscape of the world?
Mother nature's voice is all around us
Just close your eyes and listen to her message
