Abstract
Sound can change the world and so can listening. The written part of my thesis is examining the urban acoustic environment with the aid of two frameworks illuminating the perspectives of sound as an event and sound as an effect. It gives an overview of the universe of sound in the context of the urban sonic environment and elucidates the discourse on noise and its beauty. My practical work is the creation of a network of electronic sounds which opens the possibility to explore and discover densities of sound events, and their temporal and spatial diffusion. The aim is to develop a prototype which can be used as a tool for further artistic explorations. It is a spatial intervention and a sonic network at the same time. The piece is inspired by the immense variety of sound impressions from everyday experiences. The way we listen is part of how we see the world.
