subliminal/change
Listening to extensive ambient soundscapes like these by Daina Dieva is an interesting experience while in public transport (tram, bus) with open headphones: In the end, the music is likely to merge with the sounds and noises of your environment nearby, generating something akin to an “acoustically augmented reality”, intensifying both experiencing the music and experiencing the very situation… Somehow, things feel “familiar” because they feel all the same – it’s the same city every day, the same trip, the same places to pass by, the same views looking out through the steamy windows… and yet it is different: Different times of year, different faces, different people, different moods. Change all over, and yet things feel “constant”, maybe because “change” is perceived as an integral part of living in a city?
