Description:

How much of the sonic environment actually becomes our own sonic reality? What does that depend on? What part of hearing our environment could be considered listening to music? Is listening to music affecting the way we participate to our sonic environment? In this seminar are examined some basic ideas related to the factors that define our integration to the enviroment (or better, the various environments) we live in through sound deliberately organised (i.e. music) or not (i.e. soundscape) along with a detailed presentation of noise and its role in all that.
