When I was very young, I started learning to play the piano, so I used to understand sound art as musical art. But when I saw many exhibitions about sound, my understanding of the term changed. So I began to pay attention to the sounds of everyday life, such as the drops of water dripping from my untwisted clothes onto the wooden floor as I hung them out to dry early in the morning. Rhythmic, rhythmless, water drops colliding with wood. Or maybe I was lying on the carpet when I heard the sound of my downstairs neighbours cooking matched with the sound of construction in the distance, constituting an unexpected auditory surprise. I think sound art comes from life, and if I pay attention, I am sure to find a lot of interesting music, melodies, timbres and a sense of collision between sounds. Aural brings no less sensory stimulation than visual, just need to be explored and discovered.
