Unlike images on film or video which cannot in themselves produce sound, sound has the unique ability to evoke an image. It is the supreme conjurer of the imagination and the emotions.

We locate these sounds in our mind’s past, and what is more, we can smell them, and feel their shape, mass, and texture. This is important information. When sound is linked physically to place, it has the capacity to deepen both the sense and the memory of that place.

What is more important is the capacity of a sound to evoke unlimited pictures in the mind, to interject the listener into the picture, to play with the scene, to write alternative scripts.
