Diffusion, Dispersal, Convergence

Atmospheric conditions alter sounds and their impressions on the listener.


Such experiences of sound are infinite in variety, yet can be difficult to detect when the perceptions are dulled by the myriad external pressures and distractions to which listeners may be inured.

These effects are to be pursued toward refinement of awareness, whether subtle or bold, ethereal or uncanny, and whether in the course of everyday events or in the process of sound design.

From a compositional perspective, they awaken the aural sense and the imagination, expanding the range of consciousness, and, in turn, depth of intellect and feeling.
