This paper introduces the method of intuition as it is presented by French philosopher Henri Bergson in the book An Introduction to Metaphysics (Bergson 1912). Its usefulness as a tool to observe relevant information in artistic practice in sound is further discussed in relation to a series of works by the author. Exploring this complex field the author makes a preliminary conclusion that sound is not a thing, and it is not limited to what we listen to. It is a system of interrelated threads, the meaning of which is much larger than the actual sound itself.

Intuition and Sound in Practice
As was hinted at the beginning of this paper, artistic research in sound faces challenges that can be expressed through the questions concerning (1) the methods that allow for observing relevant information regarding a specific artistic practice in sound and (2) the means of presenting this information in an accessible manner. I will mainly discuss the first of these and, as an experiment, attempt to evaluate the method of intuition as described above.
