Everyday sound imitation, as told (and done) by the people of Sergiyev Posad, Russia. The most mundane soundalikes and the strange stories behind them. The objects that sound like birds, the birds sounding like objects, and the humans mimicking both.


Based on field recordings made in 2009-2015. An audio documentary by Vladimir Kryuchev, Sergiyev Posad Sound map — oontz.ru.
