The sound was quite nice with different layers and chapters. I could hear the rhythms and illusions created by keyboards and it let me feel like there were prelude climax, final in the poems. In the last part, the vague human voices let me feel quite surprised and why sound was better than video was displaying well in this statement. Everyone could have a different imagination.
I remembered there was a Chinese sound video that Andrew had shown in class, which was a collaborative work with his students, displaying Chinese sound arts-Huangmei Opera in Nanjing. Personally, I didn’t feel this is impressive to me because it shew Huangmei Opera in a quite funny way with a high angle shooting and those women who were singing were wearing clothes informally and they were singing with phones. The background which they took the shot was also quite bad firstly because it was in the late evening, secondly because there were metal sinks and other ‘not clean’ stuffs. I could hear there were other stuffs which were making little noise in the background. The singing was okay but not in a quite concentrated way, for me Huangmei opera was a cultural thing and it was worthy of respect with dressing more formally and a more clean voice.

I like Jessica Ellis’ statement. The idea that Sound Arts ‘reaches out to the art world in a new and distinct way’ is quite exciting! It doesn’t taste like stale bread! When we don’t have strong etiquette and formalities in navigating the field we can explore and discover with innocence and freshness, making Sound Arts a powerful force. This too shall pass?
I agree that sound stirs biological roots. It makes me think about the emotional reaction to sounds. Is the reaction from our own personal history, or is there a longer ancestral history involved in our perception of sounds?
I wonder how we can explore the sources of the “thousand feelings in a thousand people’s ears” in a sound project, that listens and amplifies the interior back into the world. Maybe we can sing!
