Geosonics......Listen to the World in Sound!

9/23/2018

 
Teaching classroom music a number of years ago, I wanted encourage the students to really listen to the world around them.....so many contemporary composers do the same.  I gave an assignment to "compose" with "found sound".......natural, environmental sounds that we all hear - and often tune out - in our everyday world.  Today I read/listened to an extraordinary article in the New York Times called "Listen to the World".  From volcanoes to bat caves to wind stations in the North Sea to whisper chambers in an Indian mausoleum you can immerse yourself in sound from around the world.......give a listen and let me know what you think!  Also, for my students interested in creating and manipulating your own sound world, have you explored software from one of my personal favorite companies called Soniccouture (love the name!)?  Check out "Geosonics"........listen to the sound samples and read about how these were captured.......fascinating!!
