The first sound artist Janek Schaefer used sound related to space. He took different places that were usually quiet and applied sound to them. He would create a space and environment with the different sounds he put together. This is exactly like the project we are doing in class now. We are also taking random sounds and creating an environment with them. His work was a little more abstract than the project we are doing now but much like it.
Stephen Vitiello created sound environments that were more like music. They were very long. He creates an atmosphere of sound that sounds like an environment in more of a musical way. The type of sound work he does is a lot like what we are doing by taking a lot of sounds and creating an environment he is just doing so in longer more musical way.
2. What formal vocabulary can you use to describe their works?
Janek Schaefer used many different sounds to create an environment. He used images and sound to make people make connections between sound and image. He used different sounds to add variety. He also used different amplifications of volume for different sounds and fading in and out of sound.
Stephen Vitiello used many different sounds and repeated the same sound in different tones to create variety. He creates an atmospheric environment in a way that sounds like it could be an environment around us but in a more musical way. He uses more rythem in his works. He uses different amplifications also.
3. Do you agree more with the Sound Explorers approach and attitudes toward sound or would you prefer one of the other groups discussed in class?
I found Janek's approach to sound interesting because he put interiors and sound together that would not normally be heard. Stephen's approach to sound was more rythemic and musical. It was also much longer. I thought it was interesting what he was doing but was not as much in my liking. The sound artist I found most interesting was the nature sounds we heard in class.
