re-constructing...

...:::...the past few weeks i have been traveling...unaccompanied by the sounds i so often choose to have around me. instead, i have been passively engaging the daily frequencies mexico has to offer...noticing the ways in which things in stillness become amplified in motion...the ways in with they interact...i begin to make a list of their sonic collisions, finding it so much more interesting to describe with verbs the ways in which things come together to release a sound...
...spray, slam, shut, place, drip, scrape, skid, hiss, flutter, bump, shudder, smack, splash, crack...
these are some of the happenings that gave off sounds...that sonically describe the materiality of place (does the sound of heels walking on concrete have a different pitch to it in one city then the next? or perhaps consider the sound of squealing brakes ricocheting between building faces)...i thought a lot about these things...about how the same action with the same materials can create dissimilar sounds in two separate places. why is that? i wondered. and listened. and wondered some more...and i think maybe it is that the materials of a place are culturalized through use...that they take on regional accents...
and i also realized how accustomed i have become to hitting 'play' to shift my moods, to re-construct my daily environment...and i think i'll try to be more aware of how and when i listen...because while i love to create new sequences and patterns and motion by dressing myself up in sounds...i also want to know what makes a place a place...for how can i discern the nuances of the bus wires snapping overhead in san francisco or tires spinning out an a gravel in baja or vermont if i am shut into a neatly constructed audio-box...one that is beautiful but limiting...i think to really listen means taking in equal parts of passive and active selections...:::...
