A blurb by Japanese photojournalist Kyoichi Tsuzuki for the Sound Atlas, a new essay collection by Michaela Vieser and Isaac Yuen: "I've always thought that music has nurtured me more than literature or art, but I never realized that there was such a rich soundscape outside of music! This book taught me that to 'see' sound is to touch life."

Thanks to Kyoichi Tsuzuki, renowned photojournalist and author of TOYKO STYLE & ROADSIDE JAPAN, for this heartfelt blurb for THE SOUND ATLAS, coming out next week!
