I went to a warehouse to collect materials and equipment. Instead of being a lofty echoey space it was extremely sound deadened by its contents.
The warehouse got me thinking about the sound aspect. What are the sounds of anticipation and expectation? I’ve been coming at it from the wrong angle.
I was thinking about surprise, silence followed by a sudden loud noise of some sort. But that’s too obvious.
Anticipation sounds like a door clicking, or footsteps, a kettle boiling.
Things that have an expected outcome. What happens if that outcome doesn’t emerge?
So then, what does sensuality sound like when it’s not based on sexuality?
How does something sensual sound, like grain in a sack perhaps? The wax in the bag as it was being broken up. Lentils in a pot being stirred.
