Today in Room 12, we had a bit of a discussion about our own individual ideas about sound and how it is made. Is sound created by vibrations? If so, what is vibrating? Needless to say, many people were trying to justify their thoughts and understandings. We used "[|aMap] " to help us organise our ideas and arguments. Please read these ideas and feel free to comment! We will be adding to this discussion as we experiment with sound. media type="custom" key="3747405"
