I am rarely caught without my headphones on, I enjoy the sensory depravation of it all however I find it contributes to this sense of derealization and disconnection from the world around me - playing music out loud places the music in the physical world and makes me feel more grounded in reality. the music interacts with the space around me and my entire body, not just inside my own head!

just letting your mind melt into your earbuds and letting everything happening around you be soundtracked by whatever is playing. people watching is a lot more fascinating when you canāt hear what people are saying. just make stuff up in ur head. let the music absorb you and your surroundings.

Iāve recently read a book about the concept of āsoundwalkingā and listening to the beauty of your surroundings exploring your city and neighborhood. I used to become pretty over stimulated by the sounds of the world and would used my headphones religiously to block any sounds of the outside world from getting in. But I started to wonder if the things I use to protect myself from the outside world also isolating me from experiencing it to its fullest potential. Maybe the sounds of construction and people talking and birds and busses arenāt just āsound pollutionā but a reverberation of society and life. An organic inprov performance just for me where I am right now in the world. it made me think that anything has the potential to be a work of art depending on your perspective. Iāve started walking with a tape recorder everywhere I go and I record the sounds around me as an auditory diary of sorts. itās fun to listen back and be reminded of the sounds of the bowling alley or the cafe or the sound check at the punk show. Since this perspective shift Iāve become allot less over stimulated by the world and become more creative with my greatest resource: the world around me.

the experience of taking yourself on a solo date to the movies is the ultimate (relatively healthy) escape - you almost begin to exist in your own world. the drive home in silence as you deconstruct your own feelings, and not to mention not having to share the popcornāļø
