Sound Theory Part 2


After concluding our session with Ross Brown I had discovered, and perhaps always knew, but never gave it much thought, about how visual of a society we live in today. I feel that it is true, we've begun to use sound as a filler, instead of really letting ourselves as beings, be immersed in our everyday soundscape. Sound is something more interesting than noise, sound is distinguishable and has meaning. We all hear, but when do we listen? I would challenge every reader to go out into the world for one day, and make it a point to not have their headphones in, and see what sounds occur in your everyday life. Make it a point to listen, instead of hearing. I'm sure I'll have more notes on this tomorrow. Right now, I'm going to listen to a new album and do a few sketches of images that hit me today during my embodied practices class. Hopefully I'll be able to add those here in a few days.
