![]() In other words we can recognize a distinction between sound as representing the reality of an object vibrating in air and the use of the musical form � which may be generated by physical instruments vibrating in air � as a language or vehicle to communicate a variety of abstract information. In music and sound art we operate at a very high level of abstraction, whereby vibrations in air are powerful communicators of abstract information � feelings of emotion, love, joy, ecstacy, sublimity etc. song, and music represent three forms for the creative abstract expression of physical, logical, intellectual emotional abstract and spiritual information. The distinctions of musical instruments each playing the same note represents the same fundamental expression of their "soundbody", their unique acoustic reality in soundspace.īut we also use the realm of sound to communicate information at a multiplicity of levels using languages expressed in sound. We recognize the sound of the sea, trees blown in the wind, rainfall, birdsong, traffic and even the conformations of matter in space whch give rise to the expression of reverberation and echo to varying degrees. ![]() ![]() This vibration represents the reality of the physical object in the universe of acoustic soundspace. Sounds pertaining to the world of physical reality will be generated by the vibration of physical matter in air. In the above we notice a fundamental division or partition. They represent a high level of logical complexity and abstraction and the vehicle through which new distinctions and hence new realities of both logical and abstract decription emerge. Rhythm and tonality are the creative expressions of our conscious musical language. The rhythms of nature are rarely, if ever, uniform, the melodies rarely melodic or tonal, these are exceptions rather than the rule. This is the sound of the natural world, the physical universe in air, water or some rarified medium. This represents the realities of the sound bodies of the vibrating matter in air from which the sounds have arisen. ![]() We should pay more attention to it, for it is indeed Golden.Īs sound distinctions emerge from the infinite realm of silence, new realities become incarnate, they emerge through the generation of complexity, they express acoustic reality. It is sublime, it pertains to the Divine. As we approach silence we move towards an infinity of no distinction in which all sound becomes unified, for this abstract realm of silence represents the unexpressed infinity of all the potentialities of sound. The realm of silence in the universe of sound, like the blank sheet of the writer or visual artist, represents the realm of nothingness from which all expression emerges as distinctions of sound.
