Why Do We Love Music?
Beginning with the primordial sounds of nature, we have experienced an ever-increasing complexity of our sonic surroundings. As civilization develops, new noises rise up around us; from the creaking wheel, the clang of the blacksmith’s hammer, and the distant chugging of steam trains to the ‘sound imperialism’ of airports, city streets, and factories.
Constructing and Deconstructing Our Sonic Environments
Sound is an element that can define space, either by design in an effort to control and defend against noise (unwanted sound), or by using the composition of sound (often referred to as music) as an organizational method.
There is a needed opportunity of a hybrid landscape architect/sound artist, masterful in composing the inherent sonic qualities of a site and its context to create a unique spatial composition that more justly informs us about our environment. By recording and studying the existing site sound, and by using sound technology (accelerometers/sound sensors, microphones, speakers, etc.) a translation of that sound can be made.
We typically do not think of sound as having spatial implications. We have so naturally become tied to the visual it is hard to imagine this unseen force and how it can define and engage in our physical and spatial world.

Sound is often invisible to the eye, but, with the right tools, can be measured with a clearly defined form (amplitude), which has limitless possibilities of alteration as we begin to modify frequency and pitch.
The use of headphones can be viewed as of a kind of “urban tactic” in which we have the ability to deconstruct and construct the territorial structure of the city, to lose oneself in your own sonic universe when at any moment the physical world can interact and disrupt and bring the individual back to their surroundings.
What if our landscapes could speak to us? How would our environmental relationships and connections change if our impacts received a verbal response?

I write to reflect consciousness. I write which begins with the light of' àwareness that travels all the way to 'Zen. In between, are the little moments and experiences in life, where you feel and heal. Poet|Logistician
2 年Sound is another silence that turns so sweet to take you to the depthness of life. It is the Alpha and Omega of Universalism.

2 年Beautiful. The last few lines brought to mind a Bedouin proverb: Only in complete silence, will you hear the desert.
