The sounds external to the body can only shape a small part of your world. The mind evokes sounds from within, or translates sounds outside of itself, often imperfectly. If you have ever heard your name called out and turned to find nobody there, or laughed out loud at a joke in your mind, or heard a song on the radio and been transported from your cup of coffee to a joy ride with friends, then the stories in these pages may just be what you’re looking for.

From discussions of favourite music and artists, to poetic explorations of silence, to sound interpreted in works of art and interviews, Noise/Less is an observation of the deeply personal ways we experience the sonic world around us.
