MEMORY SOUNDSCAPES
The Sound that Lingers

Have you ever listened to a sound, music or melody and start feeling things but you are unsure of how to explain that particular emotion that you are experiencing? “I’m feeling so much but there aren’t words for it. I can’t articulate what I’m feeling”. This happens when sound evokes emotions while triggering past occurrences in the brain, which causes memories to be brought back when similar sounds are heard again.

A project designed to explore communication in sounds through multisensory audio-visual experience and the concept of associative memory, to trigger sound-emotion perception. Breaking away from traditional forms of memory representation like photographs and diving into sounds, a language of greater harmonic flexibility and range than words. By exploring the concept of associative memory, this study seeks to further uncover how visual elements can reflect the characteristics of sounds and enhance visual hearing, contributing to deeper sensory engagements.
