Introduction to The Art of Sound
The professional audio technology specialists L-Acoustics have collaborated with Black Meteor to create a three-part documentary series, "The Art of Sound". This series explores the fundamental role of sound in human evolution and its ongoing influence on our lives.
Exploring the Basics of Sound
The season premiere, "Sound is Fundamental", features David Byrne and is directed by Andrew Lancaster. The episode also includes researchers Robyn Landau and Dr. Erica Warp, who examine our original connection to sound and its basic role in human experience. Through EEG research conducted at L-Acoustics London, the results show how our brain and emotions react to different sound landscapes and how they affect human well-being.
The Impact of Sound on Humans
According to David Byrne, "It is remarkable how much we can orientate ourselves based on sound. We cannot close our ears, because in this way we can recognize whether something or someone is approaching. If you are with your eyes closed, you can sense what type of space you are in and what kind of landscape you are in. I think it affects us emotionally and physically. You can feel something that you cannot see." This highlights the significant impact sound has on our daily lives and our perception of the world around us.
The Goal of The Art of Sound
Amber Mundinger, Global Director of Creative Engagement at L-Acoustics, added, "With the publication of ‘The Art of Sound’ we want to take the audience on a journey that not only celebrates the artistic and scientific elements of sound, but emphasizes its profound effects on us." The series aims to bring together the artistic and scientific aspects of sound, showcasing its profound impact on human experience.
