Abstract

Most theories of design agree that we can speak of design when there is a material result, an object that is designed. Therefore, Sound could not be considered as design since it is not subjected to manipulations like a thing. This paper proposes a revision of these notions from a point of view that understands sound as a material that is not considered as a thing, and by these means responding to all characteristics proposed by main theories.
Materiality in sound begins with music through timbre explorations, and from that point we arrive to XX Century several propositions that are extended to the sound design field, in particular, the in the audiovisual domain.
