Soundscape: Venice

The following are short videos on YouTube by "solubleshark" that explore a soundscape environment (including musical sounds) as heard when moving through Venice. Often sound from more than one source can be heard at the same time. Such blending of sounds is sometimes thought of as noise, but it can actually be interesting if you one gives attention to what they are hearing
