State of Nature, and Reality

Everyday sounds produce different patterns and effects than those arranged according to musical concepts and structures.


Identify sounds in an environment, noting those that are constant and others that are intermittent, as well as those that reach the ear only once, or only briefly.  Give regard to the effects of proximity and atmospheric conditions; distinguish between sounds of human reality and those originating in the processes of nature.

These sounds will develop continuously and increase in number and variation, emerging, for instance, then scattering, rising and falling, collecting and dispersing.  These are ways in which atmospheres form and evolve, implying innumerable manners and methods by which they may be expressed in creative aural forms.
