Julian Treasure 'The World Is Sound'

Improved Essays
24. Julian Treasure started off by talking about an interesting quote from the Hindus, which translated to “The world is sound”. Julian then goes on to mention a statistic on how everything around us is vibrating. I think this is a good hook in the way it grabs the viewer’s attention and gives a clear explanation on what the speaker is going to talk about.

25. He starts off by saying how listening is an active skill and that how hearing is a passive skill. So basically, you hear all the time, even when you are sleeping, and you only listen when you actively want to e.g. When for instance when you are talking to someone and the news channel is on at the same time, you may be listening to the person you are talking to but hearing the news in the background.

Reductive listening in basic terms is the most simple version of listening, only listening for the key information and then moving on. Men tend to use reductive listening whereas women tend to use expansive listening.

27. NIHD stands for Noise Induced Hearing Disorder, and 61% of college freshmen had damaged hearing as a result of headphone abuse.

28. He talks about sound compression and how it can damage our ears, he uses two music samples, one sample is uncompressed, and the other is compressed with 98% of the data in it removed. Although they sound very similar the compressed one can actually be quite damaging to your ears, because you need to imagine the data that is has been removed and that puts a lot more work on your brain and it can stress you out. I think it is an effective strategy to show you how similar the sounds may be but how different they really are.
Treasure shows us how nature sounds and multiple occurrences of nature e.g. birds, animals, wind, rain, and water all happening at once is healthy. Visually walking in nature and listening is very healthy for people.

He begins by saying, “Mastering choral ensemble – a unified sound image of the whole – is the foundation upon which enlightened, communicative, and inspiring performance takes place.” He explains that there is a process to achieving this mastery, and it is based off of mental-aural image, which is a vision of what the music should sound like. In this chapter, Marvin goes through the “Conductor’s Process,” and explains the mental-aural image in four very important guidelines. The first one talks about score study and how it is the catalyst for the mental-aural image.…

    In the Ted Talk on “how to speak so that people want to listen,” Julian Treasure explains how to speak powerfully. According to Treasure, our voices are the most powerful sound in the world. In today’s society, we lost our sound due to our habits or rather the seven deadly sin of speaking. The seven deadly sins which are gossiping, judging, being negative, making excuse, exaggeration and dogmatism are making it difficult to grasp others attention. Instead of diving into these seven deadly sins, Treasure suggested we build a powerful foundation we can stand on.…

    Huntington Gardens Response The Chinese and Japanese Gardens at Huntington are two of the most unique sites that I have ever visited. As soon as I walked into both, I felt completely immersed in their respective cultures. In our studies of Japanese Culture, we discussed the attachment that the Japanese felt to nature prior to their period of modernization. This reverence for nature is clear in their attention to detail throughout the Japanese Garden. For example, the Japanese House blends seamlessly into the garden with its use of natural materials.…

    Classical music is more harmonic while rock music is more rhythmic. Rhythmic music makes listeners more passionate, raising adrenaline, while harmonic music makes listeners more contemplative. Studies have shown that exposure to rock music causes learning and memory retention problems because the rhythm acts in the same way a drug do. However, the brain does create a strong association between rock music and what is happening visually when you hear the song. So, regardless of conditions, when you hear a rock music song, your brain will automatically associate it with the first time you heard it (Heathman,…
