“[Sound] is a great source of knowledge because hearing enables you to gather information, to appreciate, to have a response to the environment. But then so does seeing, smelling, touching, feeling, tasting. Sound is very important but it’s not the only thing that is important. More and more it interests me how our senses interact to create our composite or our whole feeling.”
Peter Cusack is a field recording artist. He examines soundscapes and uses sound as a way of documenting places. I find Cusacks sound maps especially interesting because they seem like an interesting contribution to ethnography.
