https://soundcloud.com/francescamackay returns to OpenLab with a new episode of Architextures, this time focusing on Sound art, the hybrid art form that bridges visual art and experimental music, using sound as both its medium and as its subject:
The art of noise. Sound as an invisible sculpture. A two-hour journey into art’s sonic cosmos.
Sound art is a hybrid art form that bridges visual art and experimental music, using sound as both its medium and as its subject. It defines a broad range of projects dedicated to the emphasis, exploration, and experimentation of auditory perception. Sound art overlaps with experimental music or noise but tends to place greater focus on conceptual exploration of the complex relationships between the sound, listener and space. The way music and sound art are experienced is also different. While a musical piece should be experienced in its entirety, sound art is usually experienced in a venue where the artist has no control over how much time a listener spends with a piece.
Conceptual artist John Cage’s notorious piece 4’33” contributed greatly to the separation of musical composition and sound art while Max Neuhaus, another pioneer in the field of contemporary art and music, is credited with being the first to use sound as a medium for site-specific installations. Some artists explore sound in its pure state, simultaneously bridging and muddling barriers between sound, noise, and music in the contemporary or historical sense. Others, such as Samson Young, investigate the political and cultural implications of human interaction with the aural.
