The term sound art is a slippery one, constantly morphing and leaking into formats as diverse as experimental music, film, gallery art, museum installations, spoken word, video games, interactive technologies, motion pictures, and field recording. The tools of the trade include everything from microphones, speakers, mixing boards, hydrophones, and musical instruments to a large bundle of audio gear which can add effects to our desired sounds captured or streamed.<\/p>\n

So could anything recorded be considered sound art? Perhaps, but for our purposes, let\u2019s define a “sound artist’ as a creative person that is doing something interesting to the ear and not limited to exclusively the visual sense; a form of art incorporating sound.<\/p>\n

As sound artist and ecologist Bernie Krause states in one of his talks “while a picture might be worth a thousand words, a soundscape is worth a thousand pictures.”<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a list of 10 artists, in no particular order, to look out for:<\/p>\n
