on
sound:
qualitative
acoustic appraisal +
design methodology
should balance precious +
almost inaudible lost
sounds alongside those perceived as
unwelcome +
intrusive. this goes
beyond the commercial meter generated macro noise
mapping into understanding what is going on beneath
the 'strictly objective' - but often misleading -
quantitative analysis.
on
space:
social, cultural +
environmental
cohesion.
on
soundspace:
sound and space/place are (or should be)
inseparable. the term soundspace underlines this
duality.
on cultural
soundscape:
each
cultural soundscape has its own combination of
frequencies and amplitude as well as timbre,
character and ascribed (objective / subjective)
meaning.
the way we experience the soundscape is
multifarious - not only does the types of sounds we
hear depend on the above factors, but the sound(s)
we actually focus on depends on ever changing
cultural / individual values and
perceptions.
