Consensus – what many people consider

What do we understand in different years and how does it change, what color, maybe every 10 years a change happens. It could happen due to different regions, their culture, social and political build up.

Part 1: reflection

A two mins audio clip: Milo speaking about what he wants to do for today’s class with background noise, but he records this while he takes transportations to go home, which is also before this lesson. 

Second clip is about public speaking: where the voices change from traditionally reading the poetry to electronic voices.

Part 2: an audible history of sound art

collage and montage: the cut up and merging art)

Idea development: 

Many of my ideas have gained in this class and we have developed our knowledge further for the theories of sound art. 

There is a collaboration album that my friends ask me to join that inspired me with new ideas, their theme is abstract, where I wanted to research about how abstract ideas have developed from historical to contemporary. However, the abstract as a genre in music doesn’t have many research for me to dig into, in the modern days there is a huge twist towards the understanding on abstract, especially in china, people starting to use abstract as a meme, to sarcastically comment on the behaviors that is extremely out of norm, usually to describe crazy and negative items, but it can also be use for event that is funny and creatively out of mind. The main focus with the traditional abstract is the same, however the method of presentation has been totally different. Therefore, it might not be as suitable to be a research project for final presentation, however, if it doesn’t require comparison or evaluation for the historical works then it might be suitable.
