Sound art is an avant-garde musical genre that merges auditory elements with sculptural, spatial, and performative components, often transcending traditional boundaries between music and visual arts. It emphasizes texture, atmosphere, and the experiential aspect of sound. Artists in this genre, such as William Basinski with his decaying tape loops, and Biosphere's ambient techno-organic soundscapes, explore the manipulation of sound materials to create immersive auditory environments. This genre often involves the use of field recordings, digital manipulation, electroacoustic techniques, and unconventional musical structures, challenging the listener's perception and interaction with sound. Sound art is not only meant to be heard but experienced, often in unique, site-specific installations or performances.
