Safe and SOUND
Our second speaker today made the point of sound being invasive (as her topic of discussion was sound). It’s interesting to think about this as we never truly experience silence, only what we think silence should be. Even when you wake up in the middle of the night and sit in silence (ironically HEARING nothing, or HEARING silence), we can still hear the ringing/buzzing of our ears. Now, I may have been tricked (me in all my gullibility), but I read somewhere that the buzzing/ringing we hear is the sound of our brain (or ears) repairing itself but failing. The point I’m making, is that we never truly experience silence; a time in which we are not exposed to any noise at all. And with that, I emphasise the speakers point about noise being truly “invasive”.
She also spoke about different components of sound. That is, perspective, background, feild, figure etc.
