I’ve had a few ideas already about possible research topics for this year, I really want to incorporate audio fiction into this as I feel there’s not nearly enough academic writing on the topic. One thing I’ve been thinking about recently is how noise music can incorporate into narrative, and more specifically audio drama. In …

How do we as sound artists deal with ocularcentrism?
I think that western ocularcentrism has so ingrained itself into the way we as people live our lives it would have to take an enormous cultural and technological change (one perhaps leading to the other) We have been focusing on visual art as early as 45,500 years, and aural art has been recorded as early …

Yan Jun, seriousness and smallness
My main takeaway from Yan Juns guest lecture was the idea of a push toward a less serious form of sound art, the idea that much of sound art is taken very seriously and that there is not really room for small and unserious pieces. I find this idea very interesting, I think that it …

Lowercase sound/music
