\"grazia<\/p>\n

Sound is all around us. It propels us, it soothes us. In the UK, Transport London has been known to\u00a0play classical music<\/a> at its busiest tube stations to deter antisocial behaviour. It can stop us in our tracks,\u00a0like when we hear the harsh blare of a car horn. Sound is a part of us in a way that touch or taste can\u00a0never be because it overlaps upon our personal space.<\/p>\n

\"grazia<\/p>\n

Studies in the field of sonic affect \u2013 the research of how states of response or awareness are created\u00a0within the body through sound \u2013 show that as humans we are hardwired with responses to certain\u00a0auditory stimuli. For example, the sound of rain. Rain sound is generally between 0 and 20 kHz\u00a0and when humans hear the sound of it, the brain begins to unconsciously relax and begin producing\u00a0alpha waves. These are very close to the state our brain is in when we experience sleep. When it comes\u00a0to pleasure, however, sound is as diverse as our sexual tastes. The sound of chewing or whispering so\u00a0frequently sourced on ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) videos can just as easily make the\u00a0next person\u2019s skin crawl.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sound is also how we create space \u2013 personal, shared, sacred. It can take us elsewhere. While our bodies\u00a0are mediating suburban streets, our auditory perception can be on a distant beach. Or a rainforest.\u00a0Or another city. Through sound, we can experience a world without leaving our homes. Over the\u00a0following pages, we\u2019ve created an interactive meditation of soundscapes, or sound escapes, to take you\u00a0elsewhere. Hold your phone over each QR code to activate the experience. Use this whenever you need\u00a0a moment to pause, or achieve a sense of stillness. Or simply when you want to escape the day.<\/p>\n
