Sound art is a relatively new form of art which involves sound or related topics of sound with the creation of art, for me, this type of art could have started when the technology allowed us to record and store sound physically or digitally as before of that there was no way of work with sound in any other way apart of music, which has been always the most orthodox creative way of producing sound. Being able to record and play sound gives us the ability to manipulate it and create different forms of art with it.
In my own experience, and coming from an electronic music background, sound has always fascinated me, and the possibility to research and experiment with the different tools and techniques that we have access to these days, opens a wide range of possibilities in order to create interesting reactions on the public.”It is a liberating term, free of constraints of classical music traditions as well as of visual art traditions” (Westerkamp, 06.07.11) And that’s another important factor in sound arts, the visual aspect, as it can mix the best of visual art and sound and music components.
