Silent journal

Can a busy train station be silent? What about a mountain top? How does silence make us feel?
Silent journal is an immersive, interactive “soundbook” composed of stories and silent soundscapes recorded during a six-month exchange in Japan.
Each story in the book has a unique soundscape. A hidden computer vision system follows the reader's progress, causing the soundscape to magically shift whenever they turn a page.
