Below are notes from a reading called 'From sensation to Perception', over the course I will make notes from various readings. These notes will help me expand my knowledge of sound, enhancing my skills and therefore developing my final products.
-Once sound has entered through our ears, we begin to perceive through various listening modes.
-Hearing is passive and listening is active.
-While hearing involves receiving auditory information through ears, listening relies on the capacity to filter, selectively focus, remember and respond to sound.
-REDUCED listening refers to the real-time awareness of all the sound quality parameters (wavelength, amplitude, frequency etc.)
-CAUSAL listening consists of listening to a sound to be able to gather information about its cause.
-SEMANTIC listening pertains to the spoken language and other code systems that symbolise ideas, actions and things. The study of linguistics delves deeply into this area and points out that the variation can be great in actual sound and still have the same meaning
-REFERENTIAL listening consists of being aware of or affected by the context of the sound, linking not only to the source by principally to the emotional and dramatic meaning.
-Less is more: Sometimes you can get the most impact with the least number of elements in a sound piece, allowing the audience to be more participatory by letting them fill in the gaps with their minds, as opposed to handing them a full plate.
