summary |
This paper explores the intangible aspects of space through a series of soundmappings
that took place in Edinburgh and Athens between 2006-08. One of our
main conclusions is that sound is a rich and provocative tool for exploring space, due
to the fact that it reveals qualities and information that a visual representation
wouldn’t had been able to. A significant remark we made is that the exploration of
space through sound does not predetermine the findings; we did not pose questions
about pre-decided aspects of the places under investigation. On the contrary, within
each different environment, the study of sound brought out different kinds of
information. We also realized, that the experience of sound of a place lies in the
tension between our attempt to grasp, and possibly map it, and the fact that sound –
and atmosphere in general – naturally resists these endeavours. |
