McLuhan stated that in visual culture “an image is in one very specific fixed spot: it’s in front of you. It isn’t everything at once.” Visual culture can sometimes give off the sense of bombarding our senses, taking precedence over our auditory sense simply because it overwhelms it. Acoustic is much more centered on the essence of a piece, hearing what is happening all around you, and focusing more on the emotions that you are feeling than the visual its providing. One man that was very influential in acoustic culture was John Cage, he started a resurgence of bringing sounds that make you feel like you’re somewhere else into his music, for example car horns, and other busy street sounds. Another interesting musician was Bing Muscio, the creator of Musak, music he said that was created to be heard but not listened
