Constraint n°088
The Noisy Minute of Silence
One minute of silence. But listen to everything. Write it all down.
Stop everything for exactly one minute. In complete silence. But listen to every sound around you. Write them all down immediately after.
Instructions
- Set a timer for exactly one minute.
- Stay perfectly still. Close your eyes if you want. Don't make a sound.
- Listen. To everything. The smallest sound, the furthest sound, the sound of your own body.
- When the minute is over, immediately write down every sound you heard. In order if possible.
- Do this once a day for a week. Compare your lists. Does the world sound the same every day?
Variants
Do it in different places each day. The same minute, different acoustics.
Do it with someone. Compare your lists. Did you hear the same things?
