sound is a sense. a sense that we have.

seeing sound through numbers. frequencies as numbers as sound.

//how that happened- a short personal history of my search for sound//
music is an encoded language. It has notes and scales and things I dont understand. It starts by building from zero mostly. there is nothing. and then appers a sound. Pluck a string, press a keyboard key, hit a drum - all very clean and sophesticated - frequencies are produced. and from there on - add more frequencies, change them- create a sequence - with ups and downs and layers. that is the syntax of most music. it is additive. it has a language based on what frequencies are pleasent to the human ear. The problem with music and me is that I cannot comprehend the difference between one tone and another. I'm tone-deaf. I can hear sound. i like different kinds of sounds. And so, with my sense of sound and a tool to play with sound and numbers - I'm exploring and finding myself in deep waters.
