Various sounds rush at you. From one inharmonious high-pitched yell for example, if you listen, you as an artist can sense the self that was forced to make that sound, perhaps emerge with a prize, an excellent portrait, or simply an unique and individual mouth. Or a landscape that screams out as the voice did.

From the sound, the assaulting onrushing sound of traffic, if you listen you can emerge with the prize—perhaps an abstract, with the pulsating sounds transferred to rhythm and color; or perhaps again a portrait, here, of a compulsive personality, driven, and yet behind it all the purpose which is not easily seen, and the reason.

You can do this in the opposite manner, building up from sounds visual frameworks that are completely original portraits, created from the sound of voices. Even landscapes, elemental but fragile, built up from the ebb and flowing voice of traffic as it passes by your door. As an artist use everything.
