Home is Where the Heart Strives is a new book from Norient, an audio-visual gallery and contemporary music community for fans of contemporary music, quality journalism, cutting-edge research and music projects.
The publication explores what place means in relation to music and sound with 85 contributors from 38 countries who map their sonic landscapes of migration, war, queerness, and home through essays, poems, articles, artworks, photos and songs. From a metalhead smuggling banned tapes across the Syrian border to an oasis in the mountains of Bogotá where people gather to vogue, the editors seek places where differences don’t dissolve but resonate.
