After listening to “Her Long Black Hair”, I can agree with most of the things that Mirjam Schaub writes. The piece of sound art was so interesting, and it lured me in from the start. Its interesting how Schaub says that “Cardiff’s voice takes charge.” Schaub also relates it to a “cinematic event.” Although you are listening to Cardiff, and there are no visuals, her world becomes your world. While listening to the excerpts I felt as if I were walking the streets of New York City. It’s interesting how Cardiff describes how she gives directions but also gives narrative elements to influence the listener to finish the walk. It’s interesting how Cardiff describes the art as an “incredibly lifelike3D reproduction of sound,” because that’s what it felt like when I listened to the excerpts. The words of Schaub really relate to me because I also felt like it was a way to leave my habituated view of the world and I entered a new dimension. When Cardiff describes her voice to the reader, it’s a dead on description of how she comes off to the listener. When Cardiff talks it does really sound like it’s coming out of your head. While listening to this, I really did feel like the world of Cardiff was my world. For the time being, I left reality and entered this estranged world of New York City. It’s very true how Schaub relates the sounds to appear in visual form. Cardiff helps the listener leave a world of morality and enter her own world that she creates through language and sound effects. It’s intriguing how Schaub describes the voice from sexy to solicitous. The excerpts do remind me of sitting on a park bench and venting to someone that I’ve never met. It does seem that the success of a video or audio walk solely relies on the listener. Without the listener, the art wouldn’t exist. Overall this introduction is very interesting and it mentions ideas about Cardiff’s piece that I never noticed.
