Sound space

This book is dedicated to sound and its existence in different spaces. Sound waves require space, and music, in turn, organizes it and fills it with meaning. Space becomes an integral part of music. In the theater, music is not only an escort, but also a full — time character. It sets the rhythm, shapes the content, helps reveal the action. The feature of theatre and music is that both are happening «here and now». Music gives an impression at the moment when three elements interact: listener, performer, and the sound vibration itself. In the theater, sound becomes an essential part of action. His merging with a stage action creates emotions — that’s how sound is perceived through feelings and images. It forms a special space. The book offers a sense of how sound exists in different environments. The visuals show how he interacts with the theater by transforming space. Here are examples of operas, musicals, songs, exhibitions where sound becomes part of the theatre or even the theatre itself. The reader will end up in three different spaces, each of which reveals a particular experience of sound perception.
