Lately, I am very interested in the cohesion between sound arts and the human body. In my essay for Contemporary Issues in Sound Arts module, I would like to expand on the way sound influence speech, listening, and human brain activity. I was always fascinated by how the human brain works and the depths we didn’t discover yet, especially in the context of multi-personal disorders. When one of the people created by our brain can speak fluently in a language we have never learned or generate personalities and characters we have never had, which is basically giving life to a completely new person inside our body. Nevertheless, I have never thought about combining the source of my interest with the field of my studies. Therefore I have decided to dedicate the current essay topic to dissolve around those two specifications.
I have gathered a couple of essay ideas that I would like to choose from as they reflect perfectly on my main source of inspiration for this unit. A couple of the ideas for my topic are as follows: How is the relationship between the artist and their persona important in the contemporary world of sound and technology?, Exploring the different ways in which people listen and why?, Living with sound: how are sounds interpreted in the usage of particular situations of everyday life?
