6. « The distinctions between noise, sound and music is
central to my work. I rationalize these distinctions as the
perceptual nuances between hearing and listening as modes
of auditory reception. »
« Through lo-fi yet seemingly complex assemblages and
installations, I attempt to isolate moments where
noise is perceived as sound and sound is perceived
as music »
NY Arts Magazine, 26/8/08

7. Monistic :
Monism is the philosophical view that a variety of
existing things can be explained in terms of a single
reality or substance
Definition from Wikipedia ;)

8. « The notion of ‘time’ in sound is neither time as
opposed to space nor is it time plus space.
At the same time thesonic idea of ‘space’ is not
opposed to that time nor is it space plus time. »
Salome Voegelin, « Listenin to Noise and Silence : Towards a
Philosophy of Sound Art, Bloomsbury Academic, 2010.
