Every space has a voice. Gothic cathedrals produce reverberations that last seconds. An anechoic chamber absorbs everything. Music does not exist in a vacuum: it exists in the space that holds it.
Space as Instrument
Composers like Luigi Nono wrote music designed for specific spaces. Sound moves, bounces, transforms. The space becomes part of the orchestra.
Everyday Listening
We can practice listening to space in daily life. Every room, every street, every garden has a unique acoustic signature. Learning to listen to it is the first step towards more conscious listening.
