Quiver & Quill

There’s an old interview with an eccentric journalist at Atlantic monthly worth hearing. He is able to identify sounds at his office and correlate them to music notes and chords. The interview describes his process of finding meaning in the chords created by the noises in his office. He poses several questions about how the sounds in an office create its atmosphere.
Fast forward 13:05 where it starts.

Interview.

I like the idea that the space around us is alive. The noises, smells and sites that surrounded us aren’t passively apart of our background but vitally contribute to our experience. With Meet the Parents in the background and the space heater humming away, I’ll savor my household music.
