NOISE ROLE IN SHAPING THE SOUND IDENTITY OF A PLACE

There are elements of sound identity found in certain ecosystems and that respond to the complexity of the various phenomena that surround them. Noise is one of the most important elements as it forms part of a cognitive experience that is possible to analyze and identify. From the double research question: how to reveal the identity of a place through sound? and what are the key elements of this ecosystem identity that constitute this translation? the aim of the paper is to analyze the role of noise in the shaping of the sound identity of places (sound ecosystems). The analysis will be based on theories of complexity (Dewey, Morin; Whitehead) and some case studies (my personal work; Cusack, Carruth, Polack).
