Introduction

​This week, we take a look at Environmental sounds, an art form that combines sound and scene. Bring visitors to the source, not the other way around (Holmes, 2021). This week's assignment is a group project. We need to connect the specific space with the collected sounds to create immersive Sound Art.

Two categories of Environmental sounds

Site-specific sound art was designed for specific spaces that were known beforehand.

Immersive sound art requires a great deal of time and effort to design and produce, both in terms of the collection of sound materials and the layout of the environment.

Environmental sounds generally fall into two categories: Soundwalks and Works incorporating natural sounds.

 

Soundwalks

Soundwalks: Consists of audio tracks accompanied by a guidePlayed by each visitor on a portable device.

Sound acquisition

Collect the voices from campus or life to construct a world independent of reality. The location is the skateboard park near the water in front of the basketball court.

Such as: piano sound, wind sound and supermarket doorbells.

TextSounds and Nature project: The Other

Humans cannot exist without emotion.

A human sees and perceives the world from a highly objective point of view, only to end up immersed in a daily cycle of apathy and gloom.

 

We turn some familiar sounds into unfamiliar sensations. Emphasize the concept of "the other".

Feeling

The sound is melancholy and disturbing. At the same time, people feel affectionate and nostalgic. During the experience, the audience will be touched by a strong sense of unease and will stop to appreciate the confusion caused by these familiar sounds.
