Sound Project

In the past few months I've been working on a digital sound project. This sound project engages the critical process of listening to, recording and understanding soundscapes as cultural artifacts. The purpose of the project is to develop and produce experimental sound art, which calls on an audience to actively listen to the accented vocal sounds of the speaking voice as a sonic artefact.

Listening

Listening, unlike the largely involuntary and passive (unconscious) process of hearing, is the development of sonic literacy; it requires the listener to focus actively, to draw on knowledge of past experiences with sound and to understand all listening as culturally situated.
Listening is an art, a conscious process of observing and defining sound. And like the art of writing, it is affected by one's place in and knowledge of a particular sonic environment as much as one's previous experiences with sonic forms. (Comstock, M. and Hocks, E.)
