Hilo soundscape: reflection one

A farmer's market in Hilo provided inspiration for a sound recording and a writing reflection:

"The first thing I heard in Hilo was a confab, conglomeration, contrast of lilting, laughing language:  ha,ha humming, harmony of strumming syllables accompanied by thrum, drum, talk/song."

Building a Community through kinesthetic learning

Taking a class relating to our soundscape is enhancing my voyage experience.  Today we focused on the felt rhythms of the ship.  One of the most important aspects of sailing on SAS is the building of the ship's community.  We bond in incredibly cohesive ways.  Maybe in subconscious ways we are incorporating the sounds, textures, movement of the ship into a kinesthetically complete learning bubble.  We are mentally ingesting learned data, emotional experiences while simultaneously imprinting the sounds and motion of ship and sea.
