We built cities, some look like labirints, some can almost touch each other.
Washing machines making noises, cars, building sites...
We are so use to some noises that we don't even notice them anymore.
They became part of the landscape.They are not exciting, they are just there.
I loved Berlin because I found that city acoustically polite.
I can't explain but I had a sensation that the city wanted me to listen.
You need space and silence within the city itself.
Just if you have that you can feel the excitement of a white noise coming from a radio in a bar or even some random noise in the street.
As soon as we make them part of the landscape they become invisible.Painfully invisible.

"It's only noise which we secretly want,
because the greatest truth usually lies behind the greatest resistance".
(Morton Feldman)
