Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937), the godfather of radio technology, believed that sound never dies ... it just gets weaker and weaker to the point where we can no longer detect it with our ears. Any sound could, in theory, be recovered. Any sound from any time in the past. A lost sound could be heard again with the right equipment… a powerful equipment…
In fact, all sounds are lost sounds... to the moment someone can hear them... The construction of a Museum of Lost Sounds promotes the perpetuation of a community's personal and collective memories, of the creative potential of memory... The soundscape built by the biophonies, geophonies and anthropophonies of a territory... and the silent world..." Filipe faria
The Museum of Lost Sounds, a project Arte das Musas, by Filipe Faria, with the support of the Portuguese Ministry of Culture/Directorate-General for the Arts and the Municipality of Idanha-a-Nova.
