soundscape
Click to hear soundscape
I have used sound as a part of my everyday routine. I wake up and listen to NPR Up First and fall asleep listening to different sounds (e.g. rain sounds, thunderstorms, etc). I have had sleeping problems for as long as I can remember and the noises make falling asleep a little bit easier. I chose to create my own soundscape including noises that I find most soothing but also musical in a non-traditional way. I used loops of different train sounds put over a looping wind sound.
When Marshall McLuhan says, "The medium, or process, of our time - electric technology is reshaping and restructuring patterns of social interdependence and every aspect of our personal life.
It is forcing us to reconsider and re-evaluate practically every thought, every action, and every institution formerly taken for granted," I thought immediately about the way that I use sound in my life to fill up silence. I am very uncomfortble with silence. Growing up in a three bedroom apartment with 8 people made it so I never had a moment of silence while I was home. I find noise comforting now, even if it is distant footsteps, the hum of a TV in a different room or the laughter of my siblings. These kinds of passive sounds have become a very comforting aspect of my life.
