In my activities, I record conversations with people who I think might express items of interest to other people. To go along, I also record beautiful natural sounds, and awful urban soundscape nightmares to use as visual connectors. Because sound as symbol is also a tool. Even sound has been branded by the same part of the brain that created language, and sounds are connected to objects in the visual field and they can be called up by the imagination and used to complement the speech, dialogue, or narration. The idea is that the listener thinks, and forms their own opionions and ideas in the process, and by thinking and critically listening and imagining the society and system and life we live, maybe that tinkling of freedom will shake in a few people, and people will realize that it's a square, but the square consists of thoughts like these ones, which are discouraged so as not to shake the capitalist boat, and have been all but crushed with the burning of history.
Life is a circle, society is a square.
As for me, I am hoping to sell freelance pieces to the CBC that encourage thought and hopefully sound good too. I hope to do this and eventually get to the point where I can pay my bills doing this and working on my other love, the visual image. And if I can pay my bills, then I may get to the point of being able to buy more tools and keep building. I'd like to combine sound and image, though am working on them both separately right now. However, the computer is the master tool, and I am learning to use it, so should hopefully be wired soon, where the muse can float freely.
