Tone Language

Expression manifests and communicates through various mediums, the processes of each informing and shaping the expression in unique ways.



Personal and subjective expressions, that is to say, those gestures reserved for close and informal relationships, contrast sharply with expressions of public opinion of a political or cultural nature, and neither bears any resemblance to impersonal expressions of art as representations of reality.

Mediums of expression include the visual and plastic arts, dance and performance arts, speech, poetry, the written word, and musical forms, established and unorthodox.

Tone in sound and tone of human voice communicate in the same ways, and the language of tone itself embodies meaning beyond the limits of spoken language.  This is expression of force and its application in sound art, as initiated through tone and its combinations in texture, regardless of manner, technique, or the means by which it is produced.
