This article was very interesting to me. I thought it was amazing how some people who really are at peace can get so engrossed with a sound or sounds that they can forget where they are. For example when the author was on the iPod walking through the train station he got so involved and so focused to what he was hearing in the iPod speakers and what he was seeing on the screen he thought it was actually real life. Also, when they were at the "Forest" he said that once the real life weather started happening he was so used to the noises around he couldn't tell what was real or fake. This was just so fascinating because I guess I have never really paid any attention to all the noises and sounds I encounter in my everyday life unless they annoy me.
I really liked reading this article, I didn't find anything that I thought was really problematic. The only thing I questioned was at the end, when the author was talking about "The Forty-Part Motet" and how a man ran away crying and a girl was swaying back and forth. When he asked the woman she said some people had no peace; so I was curious as to what this meant. If it just meant they were annoyed by the sound and it took over their minds or what the problem was?
