Sound Production in the Arts

On February 11, 2000, an alien race known as the Replicators appeared in the television series Stargate SG-1. These mechanical beings absorb material and information and constantly build upon their previous forms to create stronger bodies. These fictional creatures essentially embody remix.

  Information has no true end point. It merely keeps transforming and finding new pathways to move forward, or sideways, or diagonally. Every new path provides an avenue of change or improvement.

Jacques Attali positions sound, noise, and music as an ultimate power. It embodies the purest essence of movements and is a tool of creation pivotal to the human experience. This view disregards the experiences of may others though. To maintain that sound is an absolute denies the lives of those unable to hear it and completely interact with it. With this in mind we must ask ourselves “How do the deaf, who are more sensitive to the feeling of sound vibrations, interpret its meaning in light of its source?”

Eric’s piece invoked feelings of enclosure and entrapment. However, I felt as though I was still drifting through space, all too aware of my impending doom, but not concerned about it. The notion of constant solitude is present throughout the piece and tension is never lost until these stand alone sounds start around 3:57. They take you out of your mind if just for a moment.
