ABSTRACT
Sound seeks out, flows into, all the crevices and corners of a room in which it is made, or into which it enters from an exterior source. Any particular space accommodates sound, welcomes it or repels it, according to its prevailing physical situation and its architectural characteristics. It interacts with the sound on its own terms, mitigated by certain cosmetic or temporary circumstances such as decor, furnishings and/or the presence of people, further depending on how they might be dressed at the time, and how completely they populate the space. The author moves through sound, while at the same time, sound ebbs and flows around us, sometimes enveloping us, sometimes receding. In order to understand this better, he analyses a single typical day, with the aid of a recorder as witness.
