Response to Readings on Sound
These articles introduce an unordinary way of thinking about sound. Sound as an art form is usually seen as in popular music, but it is much more. It points out that sound influences the perception of one's surroundings because one's eyes remain open throughout, observing the visuals along with the sound. The reading also discusses how essential sound is to people's everyday lives. For instance, people do not feel comfortable in silence. It is interesting to see the connection between sound art and visual forms of art; it is a connection that is not thought about often. In addition to the many similarities, together they seem to enhance each other.

I think your reading response relates to the sound piece you posted. Even in the sound alone, there is the layering of soothing sounds/music along with the narration of harmful side effects. However does sound and visuals always enhance each other? I think we were talking in class about the difference between listening to a song and music videos, do you find a difference between those experiences?
