Walk Two

Notice how sound is always flowing to your ears. From its source, it transcends the geometric order of pathways, boundaries and public/private space.


Sense these flows of sound …

Sounds come from all directions—listen left, right, in front, behind, above and
below.

Sound is a marker of space and depth.

Notice the spatial distances between sounds, near and far.

Some sounds are moving.

Some sounds are quiet whereas others are loud and intense.

What kinds of intensities do you hear?

Which intensities affect you? Physically? Emotionally?

Some intensities are sudden, others prolonged.

Notice how intensities change as you move towards and away from sounds.
