An Idea, a more a question really, from John Cage is what would you say if while presenting your sound work, something else was at least partly audible? It’s an interesting Idea, I think, much like with the idea of the ‘Death of the Author’ once you have created the piece, your intentions, both artistically and how you wish it to be perceived is out of your control, it is entirely unavoidable that the listening experience would be less than ideal. Speaking from my own desires I would love for every listener of my podcast to listen in a silent room with high quality headphones with no distractions, but this is a ridiculous idea, people have lives and things to do, not everyone can access these resources and podcasts are famously listened to on car journeys and during housework. So I can just hope that what I have made is good despite this, that no matter the framing the listener will enjoy what I have made, even if they miss out minute details in the ambience or mishear a line or get distracted for some reason or another.
