ACADIA Here I Come!


Well good news, my paper on "ARRHYTHMIC SOUNDS" was excepted to be published and presented. The premiss of the research is that sound from the outside would i.e. outside the building or space can be used to help make isolated interior space more comfortable for inhabitants.

"Using music in these spaces has become commonplace. However, this research chooses to address sounds that do not mask the arrhythmic sounds of the world. These random sounds might break a person’s concentration, just as a bird flying by a window breaks one’s concentration. Even though these sounds of nature, vehicles, and people interrupt, do they give a greater sense of place than ambient music? Do these breaks in concentration help keep an individual oriented and aware of time while increasing both comfort and connection to the work being done?"

I wont go any further than that because the paper is lengthy but if anyone wants to know more just let me know. The one thing that has began to sink in is that i have to present my idea to several hundred people.........
