My Initial Interest in Sound Art

Background
I have been making my own music for some time, and at first I thought I would study music production. But because I already know how to produce, I wanted to try something different. I feel that if I only stay in music production, I will just repeat what I already do. That is why I chose sound art.

Why Sound Art
For me, sound art feels more open. It does not follow the same rules as music, like structure or harmony. It makes me think differently about sound—not only as songs but as something that exists everywhere. Everyday sounds, like conversations, city noise, or natural environments, can all become part of an artistic experience. I want to explore how recording and shaping these sounds can tell a story, or make people feel something unexpected.

My Goals
Another reason I am curious about sound art is because it connects with space and visual elements. In music production, I usually sit in front of a computer, but in sound art I can use sound in physical places, installations, or performances. At this early stage, sound art means discovery. It means looking at sound from a fresh perspective and finding inspiration in things I normally ignore. I want to use this course to open my ears wider, and see where it takes me as an artist.
