I love working with sound. I've been obsessed with it ever since my dad showed my Amadeus when I was ten. Sound is capable of being more visceral and emotive than any of the other components of cinema.
Each sound is like a thousand images seen at once, and unlike imagery it is often more subjective. So now I sit here challenged by making something by not making the sounds but by finding them.
The assignment didn't seem that challenging until I started to think about it. Everything that I've worked on until this point involved me making the sounds for the film and editing them together in a logical order. Now I get to throw that out the window with some guidelines.
Chion:
I think I regularly lapse into Reduced listening. I never really had a word for it but I've always been more sensitive to the sonic realm then most other ones. When I'm in the wilderness I find that this is especially true. I find myself isolating and focusing on every sound in it's own pace and time.
Cummings:
I agree with Cummings views on the sonic world being a little too cluttered. We should all take the time to listen to the world. I'm often surprised about what I find when I do.
