Round One - Memory

I thought I heard crickets but it turns out it was just the fan. Then I listened closer, and there are crickets after all.

A sensorily stimulating soundtrack to life at CalArts! Note: Walks are best experienced with noise-canceling headphones set at a low volume as some sounds are louder than others. IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE to unpleasant and overwhelming sounds, these audios can make you feel nauseous and/or anxious. These audios are intentionally over-stimulating for people who crave that extra craziness! Let me know your thoughts! Email me at farynet7@gmail.com or visit my website at farynelyse.com.

Welcome to the "Ashrama" sound walk! As humans, there are many things that we find shelter, comfort, and security in, mentally, emotionally, and physically. We are constantly seeking it in various ways, from the people we build relationships with, the places we travel to, and the activities we engage in. “Taking refuge doesn’t protect us from problems in the world. It doesn’t shield us from war, famine, illness, accidents, and other difficulties. Rather, it provides tools to transform obstacles into opportunities. We learn how to relate to difficulties in a new way, and this protects us from confusion and despair” (Rinpoche). Just from the many religions and faiths that are practiced we can see how various peoples relate to their humanity and its impermanence. In this project we are documenting the various ways people find relief and refuge in their lives, whether in their family, friends, a pet, a book, a movie, music, a place in the world, etc. Please use this soundscape to reflect on the various refuges in your life. -Aashray Harishankar

Drone Circle

Sound art that can be listened to with sounds from the environment, while being in the environment, sound in question: the highway. An ever present sound that haunts anyone on campus realizing how loud the world actually is. The idea is to turn the ambience and frequencies of the “highway hum” into a digestible and pleasing experience will also beginning engaged in the space that surrounds them in hopes of making them aware of the sounds they have tuned out and question weather; noise pollution can play a more positive part in our auditory environment, if the ideals of sound purity are really necessary for our well being. Can we make sounds Perceived as negative into a positive thing if there is no real solution.
