The air that swooshes around the ball. The noise when the
ball hits people, the ground, or sports equipment. The cries of spectators.
With sports, forceful motions in space and human enthusiasm can be heard.
Perception of space through sound. When something moves rapidly, the sound plays a large role in the perception of the motion in space. The listener's position relative to the surroundings determines how the acoustic movement in space will be perceived. [...]
Our ears are always at the centre of our auditory experience. If our own ears could be located outside of our bodies, what would we hear then? What kind of a sound world could we experience? A sound world that puts the ball's aural perspective at the centre. Through »Ears in the Ball« the dynamic motion of people and the surroundings is portrayed.
