Found Sound Nation

Found Sound Nation (FSN) is a New York-based creative agency and nonprofit organization that uses music-making to connect people across cultural and societal divides.

FSN is composed of musicians and artists who use collaborative sound-making as a tool of music diplomacy to help enhance communities and build bonds both locally and internationally.

Found Sound Nation's Chris Marianetti collaborated with students and teachers at Ashram Paryavarn Vidhyalaya School (APV) in the northern Indian Himalayan region of Uttarakhand to create soundscapes made from field and studio recordings.
