7/2

In general, I unconsciously and consciously turn on or off my attention to different sounds - probably like most people.  I listen to cars coming from different directions as I cross a street, and pick up other peoples’ conversations out at dinner.  I sometimes like to zone out of all of these sounds and focus on one sound or just silence.  I cannot – or prefer not to – listen to music or other sounds while writing, reading, studying, etc. 

I prefer listening to music while drawing, painting, or working with different media.  Music, primarily EDM or movie soundtracks, helps me zone out and focus on my art.  I am interested in Kandinsky’s connection between the creative process of visual arts and music.

In the curriculum, one can use audio for different media including video – besides making an audio piece for the sake of itself.  Audio corresponds to and can be just as important as visual imagery in a video.  Audio remains very easy to edit and does not take up as much space as video.
