Listening Exercise No. 2

Etch 

Draw your sounding environment.
The drawing could be in colour or black and white. You can use any tools you wish. The possibilities are up to the listener, but below are some examples for you to think about before doing the exercise:

• Think about how you will use space. Will you use it to map the direction of the sounds you are hearing? Or to map their space in time?
• Think about how you will use colour or texture. Perhaps different colours represent different timbres to you? What colour or texture is that sound?
• Think about how you will use shape. Are louder sounds darker, or larger? Are longer sounds bigger than shorter sounds?
• If you gave this to a performer as a graphic score, would it represent your environment?
