Sound(s) Matter(s) [for Cities and Memory]

Speaker 1:

How do you navigate space? Are you inside it? Outside it? Or Somewhere. Somewhere else.

Speaker 1:

I said space, but I meant sound. You know, for us, eye dominant species, the concept of space is usually translated into visuals. But space is sound.

Speaker 1:

The sound that we make together in the world, sound that creates a global composition. Because you see, sound is a connection.

Speaker 1:

Sound brings us together intimately in listening and sound making. We are almost never aware, but we do create an astounding polyphony.

Speaker 1:

Sound is the connective tissue between all of the objects, everything that you see, feel, hear, and touch. Sound is carried to the perimeter, to the center.

Speaker 1:

Sometimes it is uttered and understood. Other times it is interpreted by an individual passing by.

Speaker 1:

Who decides what is going to sound? Is there a collective exercise? Does somebody decide this is what it is going to be done, chanted, shouted.

Speaker 1:

So are you inside it, outside it, or somewhere else?
