Response to Sound Projects

I listened to quite a few of these projects, and, frankly, I just thought a lot of them were very silly. I'm a very visual person (and, therefore, very biased), and I'm not too interested in sound unless it's musical or unless it accompanies some sort of visual media. A lot of these projects dealt with the manipulation of human voices and sound devices to create a dramatic effect, but I wasn't really buying it at all. I wasn't moved by any of it. However, after I tried a few links, I listened to Milan Knizak's Broken Music Composition, and I loved it (at least compared to the others). I suppose I just liked it because it had really old sounding music that was all scratched up, as if the record was damaged. I liked it because it made me feel sort what I would call a more complex version of nostaglia. It reminded me of records and all the old style music I've listened to my whole life, but some of the sound effects distorted it so much that you could barely hear the music. So, I liked the fact that it wasn't just purely nostalgic of old music-- that would have been cheesy. I think this one stood out more for me because, as a musician, I connected with the sounds and the concept of it more so than with the other works.
