Hören ist Erinnern: Über die Ambivalenz des Sound
This talk presents some notes and observations from a radio professional. I consider the ambivalence of sound; examine how, through hearing, we recall and compare; discuss how acoustic reality is reconstructed in the studio; and parse differences in how we perceive optical and acoustic media. I conclude with some thoughts on writing with sounds.
