It’s as if your head is walking, out of your body; your head is in the clouds, you’re in a cloud of sound. Cloud, swarm, flock, flight. Like a flock of birds, a swarm of insects, a cloud of insects, a cloud of birds: it’s the sound of sounds – a mix of sounds, like all the sounds in the world – all the sounds in the sound-library. Here and there the tunnel expands, just enough for you, and only you, to fit inside the expansion. Step to the side here, step out of the sound and into a pocket of silence. The sky is falling down on you here; the cloud stretches down and wraps your body like a cowl, like a shroud. Alone in these pockets, you take the time to choose the sound you want to be alone with; it’s your own private sound. Try this one: this pocket is nearly vertical, but it slopes back just a little -- let yourself go, lean back. Try this one now: this pocket is lower, the bottom folds in to make a seat, it slopes back further -- bend over a little, sit down, relax. And now try this one: the pocket is still lower, the seat is lower, it slopes back further still -- squeeze into it, recline, give in. Now this one, you have to crawl in to try this one: lie down, the sound comes over you like a wave. </p> <p>This project view belongs to <a href="../../project/rome_sound_museum/index.html">Rome Sound Museum</a>, and is threadged with:</p> <ul> <li><a href="../../thread/2005/index.html">2005</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Circulation%20Routes/index.html">Circulation Routes</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Eduardo%20Marques/index.html">Eduardo Marques</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Flying-Floating/index.html">Flying-Floating</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Gallery-Museum/index.html">Gallery-Museum</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/In%20Development/index.html">In Development</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Interiors/index.html">Interiors</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Italy/index.html">Italy</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Peter%20Dorsey/index.html">Peter Dorsey</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Rome%20Sound%20Museum/index.html">Rome Sound Museum</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Seating/index.html">Seating</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Sound/index.html">Sound</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Wrap/index.html">Wrap</a></li> </ul> <p>(<a href="../../img/380/005b.jpg">I</a>, <a href="../../img/380/005b.jpg.large.jpg">L</a>, <a href="../../img/380/005b.jpg.thumb.jpg">T</a>, <a href="../../index.html">A</a>)</p>
