Constraint n°010
Noise / Silence
Record the silence of a beautiful place, then the worst noise from your home.
Record 4'33" of silence in a place you find beautiful. Then 4'33" of the most unbearable noise you can produce from your home. Listen to both back-to-back. Every day for a week.
Instructions
- Choose a place you find beautiful or quiet. Record exactly 4 minutes and 33 seconds of this place. Don't speak. Don't intervene. Let the silence exist.
- Go home. Produce the most intense, most unbearable noise you can create with what you have. Pots, voice, objects. Record 4 minutes and 33 seconds.
- Listen to both recordings back-to-back, without interruption. First the silence, then the noise.
- Repeat this listening every day for a week. The same files, in the same order.
- After seven days, write one word per day to describe what listening did to you. Seven words. Post both audio files and the seven words on the site.
