The reason why I want to study sound art is because I want to explore more sonic and sound that can add into my music. Learning the way to listen to the environment and create sound are always interested me. When I was a kid, I always very sensitive to surround sound and music. Therefore, I went to the art high school to study music and that is the chances to explore different type of music but also sound design for theatre. When I was studying music there, I always think of one question – what is music. Does it have to follow the tonal scale and note or it is just the sound that created by people which have meaning in it? If it is the case, then every intentional sound making can be music as well. Then is smashing a glass are music? Is applause after the show are music? Those moment people are intentionally making sound and it has its meaning. Then, I discover the term sound art which for me at the moment, is asking or thinking what is music and how can use sound to create meaningful piece rather than just follow the musical theory or genre that existed before.
