Soundscapes

Perri Lynch made this piece with what in mind? To me, it felt as though I was dreaming and my alarm clock came into my dream and gradually brought me into reality. When i listened to it closely, I hear a lot of distortion in the voices from the recording equipment. Adding in the sounds that seemed nearer or farther away made the experience more three-dimensional if that makes sense.

The first time i watched John Cage's piece I grew impatient waiting for something to happen, but then, I watched him talk about it, and he said "I don't need sound to talk or communicate." I believe that this is where the genius in his art lies. Letting the natural, unintentional sounds just be sounds and have them tell us about the world around us just as it is and nothing more.
