Using audio segments to construct a story
Connect
These exhibits allow you to use sound to create different moods and emotions.
Consider
- What happens if you distort or combine sounds in an unconventional manner?
- How do sounds influence your recognition of your surroundings? Does audio familiarity make a difference in your sensory perception?
- An ocean of sound constantly bombards our sensitively attuned ears, so how is it different to select and focus on a single stimulus?
