MACHEMOODUS
Machemoodus is a Wangunk Word that means place of sounds, the legend tells that in a cave located in Connecticut lived evil spirits, that made inexplicable noices.
Brian Kane suggest that the acusmatic (hearing a sound without being able to observe the cause) affects the way in which we perceive space. By intrapolating this theory with Goodsman’s Sonic Warfare ( the use of acoustic forcé through acoustic machines to modulate population dinamics) we end up in sonorous saturation.
As inhabitants of a city dominated by various acousmatic presences like “la colchones”, the oaxacan tamal, the old iron, reggaeton in public transportation, the blast pipe of the midnight bus and the ‘ hop on, there are places left’ I felt it neccesary to revise the approximations that exist of the subject in visual terms.
