When I am thinking about three everyday sounds which contain qualities like rhythm, texture and pitch I don’t need to go very far at all. Those sounds can be found and identified simply in connection with my own physical body as in general human experience.

Rhythm – Breath

Very quiet and textured rhythmical sound with different pace depending on activity which

We are doing at the moment or our current mental state. We cannot avoid this sound since we need to breath. It is only a matter of finding the quiet moment and corner to hear this sound. Consciously or not we do find such moment and hear it clearly every day at least once anyway – before we fall asleep in bed. 

Texture – Crunching and Chewing Food

Once I realised that sounds related to my mouth are the loudest ones to perceive if we consider that our surrounding environment is quiet. We not only hear what is coming out of our mouth but we perceive more textures of resonances through the mass of our body directly touching the inner ear especially when we are eating food or drinking water. It is like the jaw bone being a contact mic. Again – we need to eat every day therefore we do hear this every day.

Pitch – Voice

Sound of our voice is naturally changing the pitch all the time. Either when we are talking or even singing change of the pitch it’s constant unless we are willingily trying to impersonate a robot as a perfomance.
