Contemporary Issues in Sound Art: topic of my interest

After thorough thinking, I have decided that my topic for the essay and theme around which I will evolve, will be ” Living with sound and how it affects our body and mind in everyday life”. What is the sound? What is the difference between “noise” and “silence”?How sound can affect our body and mind in negative and positive ways? Those are some of the questions I am intending of covering in my essay. I am planning on dividing my work into 5 sections besides INTRO AND SUMMARY:

1 SECTION: will expand on the existential meaning of sound and its influence on our body, which will be developed more in sections 2 and 3

2 SECTION: will develop the topic of the physical influence on our body and brain

3 SECTION: will develop the topic of the mental influence on our mind

4 SECTION: will focus solely on the negative impact sound and specifically “noise” have on our body and mind

5 SECTION: will focus solely on the positive “healing” impact sound and specifically natural sounds have on the human body and mind

Each section is going to be supported by work devoted to its section and questions it expands upon. I want to develop the topic of sound step by step. Starting from the existential meaning behind the sound. Followed by the effects it has on a physical and mental level. Secondly separate and expand on negative and positive effects on our body and mind. Finishing with a summary of all of the materials I have gathered with my personal opinion on the topic ” Living with sound and how it affects our body and mind”
