Sounds are perceived, identified, located, and separated in the perceptual process.
Listening actively makes these distinctions clear, yet they take place just the same in the course of passive hearing. One will note the unusual, ignoring the rest, and still be conscious of the quality of the atmosphere.
In approaching ambient sound design, I am interested in composing with these perceptual processes in mind as well as in the juxtaposition of complementary tones, lines, and so forth, giving attention to the sensations produced by sounds as well as their musicality. While atypical of the ambient style in general, such methods contribute to originality of total effect in Black Mountain School works, making them distinctively different in sound and nature from those of other stylists.
