Sonotomia is a brand that specializes in the project SONOTOMIA – Sound Anatomy of Unique Places. This 32-month-long project, supported by the Creative Europe programme, aims to capture and transmit the values and unique characteristics of shared cultural heritage through sound. By linking the concepts of sound and cultural heritage, Sonotomia believes that heritage can be preserved and promoted through the use of captured and manipulated sounds that inspire future generations to value and cherish their environment and culture.

The brand focuses on raising awareness of the sounds that shape culture in various spaces, such as urban, rural, coastal, and industrial areas. Through multidimensional soundscapes that mirror diverse cultural values, Sonotomia aims to promote and disseminate cultural aspects using captured and modified sound elements. The brand invites cultural and creative professionals, including musicians, sound engineers, art historians, curators, and biologists, to increase their awareness and competencies in co-producing and exploiting cultural outputs that incorporate digital core elements.

By doing so, Sonotomia aims to foster long-term collaborations and enhance the exploration of connections between sounds and cultural heritage. Through residencies, coaching, and networking, Sonotomia builds the capacity of professionals in digitization, promotes collaborations, and raises awareness among wider groups about the connections between sound and cultural heritage. The expected impacts of the project include increased competencies of professionals, enriched cultural and creative offers, enhanced transnational collaborations, and sensitization towards digitization of cultural and creative works.

Additionally, the brand expects long-term impacts, such as further enriching cultural offers with innovative outputs, initiating more collaborations, and enhancing the field of spatial sound study. Sonotomia partners with organizations like Pedra Angular, 4DSOUND, Spatial Sound Institute, and Fundacion Santa Maria de Albarracin to achieve its goals. Overall, Sonotomia is dedicated to exploring the relationship between sound and cultural heritage and advocating for the preservation and promotion of cultural aspects through sound-based experiences and products
