Gallipoli Castle Soundscape (2015)

about

So towards the sea, so exposed to domination, so coveted because of its geographical position, but equally open to welcome and assimilate new cultures, the extreme part of the "Puglia" region , the Salento peninsula , was for centuries the port of Italy, where historical events have influenced also on set of the fabric settlement , which has always had to deal with the needs of defense and with the urgent need to seal off the numerous assailants. Hence the presence of numerous works of fortifications that make Puglia and more particularly Salento a land of castles.
Even those who were used to seeing the spectacle of a castle , which rises from the sea , there would still be fascinated at the sight of the castle walls of Gallipoli , overlooking the Jonian Sea. It is almost completely surrounded by the sea and the building stands on the stage of a turreted and fortified citadel , the whole collection in a small island.

Gallipoli Castle Soundscape
It's a composition that tells about sound propagation, of rubbing Salento stones, between Castel's walls.
These particular stone are called "Leccisu" and they are date back to the Miocene period.
