In this article Alan Licht explains where and how derives ‘sound art’ from
originality of sound. It also tries to define what is sound art and what is not.
“Sound art, like its godfather experimental music, is indeed between categories,
perhaps because its effect on the listener is between categories. It’s not
emotional nor is it necessarily intellectual. Music either stimulates, reinforces,
or touches on emotional experiences either directly or indirectly.”
I tend to perceive information in visual, and I like to visualize my thoughts and
my emotions into visual. So it was interesting and challenging for me to
think about visualizing the sound.
