Sunday February 3rd: 5:00 p.m.
As I was walking to rehearsal, I noticed how much I enjoy the sound of crunching on fresh new snow and the imprints it leaves behind. The sound is intrinsicly connected to the visual representation left behind. Then I began wondering what I would associate with that crunching noise if i only had auditory capacities to rely on.
Closing my eyes and taking a couple moments to listen, it became clear that 'silence' is really on a facade. The sound world is extremely active. I found that if you focus on one sound, slowly you begin to recognize others. Eventually each distinct sound becomes part of a symphony. The wind whistling through different sizes of trees creates various pitches, the hum of car engines in the distance, the twittering of a bird nearby. Each tone and pitch is relative to its own musical score. A symphony of silence.

Here is a youtube video that I thought accurately shows the relationship between audio and visual experimentation or the imaginative images that sound can create:
