PASS-THE-AUX

PROJECT: PASS-THE-AUX

DESCRIPTION:

PASS-THE-AUX IS A SOUND-BASED CURATION PROJECT THAT OPERATES AS AN ONGOING EXPERIMENT IN AUDIO PROGRAMMING. FUNCTIONING IN THE FORM OF MUSIC PLAYLISTS, THIS INITIATIVE INVESTIGATES HOW SELECTED GENRES, RHYTHMS, AND SONIC TEXTURES CAN BE ARRANGED TO ELICIT SPECIFIC EMOTIONAL STATES, REFERENCE DISTINCT TIME PERIODS, OR EVOKE PARTICULAR CULTURAL ATMOSPHERES.

THE PROJECT SERVES AS A STUDY IN RESONANCE—MAPPING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AUDITORY STIMULI AND HUMAN PERCEPTION. EACH PLAYLIST IS TREATED AS A CONTROLLED TRANSMISSION, DESIGNED TO MODULATE ENVIRONMENTAL MOOD AND ENCOURAGE REFLECTION ON MUSIC AS A SYSTEM OF MEMORY, ASSOCIATION, AND AFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION.
