The article notes that Steve Feld tends to get very involved in his editing. Is it possible to become too involved when working with a sonic environment? Would it be better to involve yourself or to make yourself as inconspicuous as possible?
Much like our class, this article talks about mixing in music with other disciplines. Do you think it is possible for music to exist as a concept without being combined with other disciplines?
Feld noticed that people became very attuned to specific sounds that played an integral part in their lives, such as the shepherds in Crete, who could recognize their animals on each individual bell sound? How is it possible for someone to become so attuned to a such specific sound? Does it relate to anything you’ve experienced before?
