Professional audio technology specialists L-Acoustics, in collaboration with Black Meteor, have launched “The Art of Sound,” a three-part documentary series that merges scientific discovery with artistic insight to explore sound’s fundamental role in human evolution and its continuing influence.
David Byrne stars in the season premiere, “Sound Is Fundamental,” which was directed by Andrew Lancaster (“Accidents Happen,” “The Lost Aviator”) and debuts today on “The Art of Sound by L-Acoustics” channel on YouTube. Also featuring researchers Robyn Landau (Kinda Studios) and Dr. Erica Warp as they investigate our primal connection to sound and its fundamental role in human experience. Through EEG research conducted at L-Acoustics London, the episode reveals how our brains and emotions respond to various soundscapes and their impact on humans’ wellbeing.
“It’s remarkable how much we can orient ourselves based on sound,” said Byrne. “We can’t close off our ears because that way, we can tell if something or someone is approaching. With your eyes closed, you can tell what kind of space you’re in, what kind of room you’re in, and what kind of landscape you’re in. I think sound probably affects us emotionally and physically. You can sense something you can’t see.”
Amber Mundinger, Global Director of Creative Engagement at L-Acoustics, added, “With the release of ‘The Art of Sound,’ we aim to take viewers on a journey that not only celebrates the artistic and scientific elements of sound but emphasizes its profound impact on our collective experience. Sound is everywhere – it shapes our emotions, influences our well-being, and connects us as a community. As we explore how our relationship with sound influences everything from architecture to entertainment, we invite audiences to reflect on the often-overlooked power of this invisible force and its ability to bring us together.”
