The ambiguity of the term sound arts is what first attracted me to it and why I chose this course. It being such an open form of art, made me excited and inspired to produce work, and understand where I want to go with this work. It is only as of recently that I have found an enthusiasm for sound and music, and although I am new to the practice, I can feel it now has huge relevance to who I want to be as an artist. Previously to this I have worked much more as a visual artist, filmmaking is something I have great admiration and love for. So when it came to choosing the next step, I knew I wanted to explore sound, however, not leave film behind entirely. I felt sound arts was a choice that can still be relevant to film if I would like it to be, but, is also a separate thing in itself which I can explore.
At this moment in time, sound art has more of a musical meaning to me as my current work has been mostly guitar and vocal based. However, I am expecting my understanding and interpretation of the term ‘sound art’ to constantly change depending on the piece I am working on. This fluctuation of understanding is something I look forward to as it will keep things fresh due to my viewpoint changing throughout each period.
