Sensuos listening
VLF – very low frequencies, below 200Hz, includes infrasound – can be experienced through the skin
vibration-sensation
‘sonic body’ – Julian Henriques in theorising the experience of bass – the body acts as a sensate actor between nature (our bodies) and culture (music) – three wavebands? – the first is related to the sound of the equipment itself, the second to the sound produced by the performers and the crowd response, the third one relates to the sociocultural.
thinking through sound
‘somatic perception’ – Kendall Walton – VLF sounds not only come to us, but ‘are experienced being inside us’
erotic, embodied listening – pleasure, giving in to the physical sensation>
‘responsiveness to pleasure and discomfort’
There was an element of this sonic sensuality in visiting practitioners Kiera Coward Deyell’s work.
