    This document discusses sound and its inherently spatial, social, and physical qualities. It presents a model of sound that has three necessary components: a source, a cause, and an effect. A sound occurs when a source (such as a string, reed, or windowpane) interacts with a cause (such as a rosined bow, moving air, or raindrop), producing an audible effect. The interaction of a source and cause is necessary to produce sound. The document explores how sound relates to and is shaped by its surrounding space, scale, and whether it is public or private.

    Original Description:

    A brief introduction to thinking about sound installation.

    I work with a model of sound that has three necessary components:
    source, cause, and effect. Sounds, as we know, only occur when one
    object activates or excites another. For instance, a rosined bow is rubbed
    against a string or cymbal; air is forced across a cane reed or a vocal tract
    (then shaped by a mouth, tongue, and teeth); or a raindrop collides with
    a windowpane. The interaction of a source (cymbal, string, reed, vocal
    tract, or windowpane) with a cause (rosined bow, moving air, raindrop)
    produces an audible effect. We can formulate this as a proposition: Every
    sonic effect is the result of the interaction of a source and a cause.
    Without this interaction, there is no emission of sound.
