More dipping into R. Murray Schafer's The Soundscape has got me thinking about his ideas of lo-fi and hi-fi. To paraphrase him liberally, the lo sounds are those that are perceived to us as lower frequencies, but more importantly as continuous drone-like and non-natural sounds. The hi-fi relates to shorter, sharper sounds.All this relates to Flat Lines noted earlier.
I do think this idea of the natural and the mechanical existing in parallel is really interesting. Maybe there is a way to corrupt or exploit this symbiosis.
