Auditory perceptions- CHILDHOOD
Sounds , is something that i understood and felt without training , and it was a part of who i am on a spiritual and mental level since my birth.
when i was 7 or 8 as i remember, i was walking around our house , in summer nights, when the noises calm down ,so that all my senses can feel the vibration of my feet on the gravel of the road , and hear the details of that sound , it has a multiple reliefs i can touched it , and i remember until now every small step , it built a memory full of images , lights , words.
i am fascinated at early age by the environmental sounds which contains a huge number of sounds from various source and with multifarious details .
