Sonic Arts
Sonic Arts is a field that explores the creative use of sound in various forms, including music, sound design, and audio installations. It encompasses a wide range of practices, from traditional music composition to experimental soundscapes. Artists in this field often utilize technology, such as synthesizers and digital audio software, to manipulate sound and create unique auditory experiences.
The discipline also includes the study of how sound interacts with space and the environment. This can involve site-specific installations or performances that engage with the acoustics of a particular location. Notable figures in Sonic Arts include John Cage and Pierre Schaeffer, who have significantly influenced the development of sound art and experimental music.
