Shapes and Gestures

Sound fills physical and temporal spaces.


The listener responds according to temperament and individual aesthetic sense, and, as is generally the case with musical compositions, in rapport with widely ranging sensibilities.

But there are contrasts between music for stylistic expression and atmospheric sound compositions, namely the purposes and sonic effects of each.  One dominates attention (and this is the case with a number of ambient forms), while the other enhances state of mind and being.
