sound

sound archive? .... sound travels as a vibration through materials, including our bones. when it goes through us, the level of intimacy that it imposes is similar to that generated by food and drink. i hear a lot through bone conduction and sound can generate ecstasy. when i listen to the pitches of spokes while truing bicycle wheels, standing in the magnetic field they create, i lose myself and i feel protected.
but sound, music and noise can make me vulnerable mentally and physically: stimulus on the right side might be processed as if heard with my left ear; i get overstimulated quite quickly; my overstimulation symptoms, including tinnitus and diarrhea, can go to extremes. drugs do not help.

sound is on a line between horror and ecstasy.

warning: my sounds are closest to the moment they were conceived. they are not processed. maybe they will be of bad quality for your ears.
