About audio art: I have noticed a lot of sort of new people popping up
who are interesting. Massmoca, which is the Massachusets Museum of
Contemporary Art have been restoring old millbuildings in Massachusets,
huge brickbuildings. They have started a soundfestival for this next
spring and I keep hearing about more initiatives in this area, so it is
in the air. I am wondering where it is coming from. In music there have
been many developments the last ten years, but sound art has been kind
of sleepy. All of a sudden the last few years I hear more and more.
I am convinced it is that sound does something that the other senses do
not do, and that is a need, a growing need. Sound adresses the interior
man in a way which the other senses do not. Accept for touch, but we
can't go round so easily touching everybody. It is the body coming
back at you. It has been neglected and now it is going to come back.
There is going to be a need for the things that sound can do and that
visuals don't.
