Heart sounds

compared to “a hive.” He says we need to “press an ear against its hive.” In this stanza Collins is telling us to listen for the sounds of the poem, and what they convey (danger, excitement, sadness, etc.). The importance of words in poetry is represented by the hive that Collins wants us to press our ear against. Traditionally readers do not think to listen to the words and sound that the words make, but this is exactly what Collins is asking us to do. Another way to experience the poem is to…

Although the sounds coming from the implant sound much different than what we hear this enables a person to hear sounds, which they wouldn’t have been able to hear before. Surgery for implantation of cochlear implants involve doctors placing electrodes on the auditory nerve, which helps transmit sound waves into the ear canal. With the surgery, a person is able to become more mainstream and communicate better…

really started to come from a select few of major artists, who in turn made it blow up into a great genre of music. The one who is my personal favorite would have to be Breaking Benjamin. They were quick to become successful due to their impressive sound. Breaking Benjamin is known for being dynamically loud, having a low pitch, a dark and heavy tone, and focusing on the lyrics and vocals. The Post-Grunge style they use is heavy, but not so heavy that it is Grunge Rock which gives it the ideal…

If a material has an NRC of 0, it will reflect sound. If it has an NRC of 1, it is perfectly absorptive. These numbers can be converted into a percentage, therefore ranging from 0% to 100% in absorptiveness. (Noise Reduction Coefficients (NRC) Ratings for Common Building Materials & Products, n.d.) In order to soundproof a room, one must keep in mind that blocking an air path using a regular wall, ceiling, or door will not entirely reduce the sound. Vibrations will continue to travel through…

message from the advertisement and what personal factors might be affecting my perception of the advertisements. The sound wave path way from the Ear to the brain is starts at the pinnae which concentrate them and help them travel through the ear canal until the waves reach and hit the tympanic membrane.The tympanic membrane starts vibrating at the same frequency as the sound waves…

Jonathan Glazer’s Under the Skin serves as an art piece that dabbles in the science fiction, pseudo-horror spectrum. Throughout the film, there is a feeling of fragmented eeriness, that is only propagated by the masterful scoring, (or lack thereof,) by both the director and the composer. There is a noted lack of dialogue in the film that parallels the specific lack of foley and music in some scenes that add to the tense and twisted storyline. The, at times, uncomfortable silence, whether it be a…

Marshall was playing the piano. The first song sound like was celebrating something or like something important was about to happen. The second song was fast and slow. This song made me feel happy. The third song sounded romantic. Joe Crabb was playing the trumpet and peter the piano in the Ici-bas, and Adieu by Gabriel Faure from the Romantic period (1845-1923). The style is romantic. The first song sounded very relaxing. Has very passive sound between piano to mezzo forte. The second was…

Start with an attack time of 12 to 22 milliseconds. Shorter attack times will begin to have an impact on the attack of the pick on the strings. Watch for this. The release time setting will depend wholly on the tempo of the song and how busy the guitarist’s rhythms are. Set your release time too slow and you will find that the compression is still activated when the attack of the next strum or note happens. This has the effect of trimming of the following attacks and transients. Begin with a…

On Thursday, November 1, 2016, I attended World Percussion Night at Bowling Green State University. This musical event took place at 8:00 PM in Kobacker Hall located inside the Moore Musical Arts Center. World Percussion Night featured multiple styles including performances by the Kusuma Sari Balinese Gamelan, Afro-Caribbean, Hayabusa, and Kaze No Daichi Taiko ensembles. As I entered the building, I was anxious to see what I would endure at this concert. Not only had I never been to a musical…

Noise is defined as “unwanted sound or loud discordant or disagreeable sound or sounds.” (HSA). When “vibrations are transmitted through the air in the form of waves, they strike the ear, these waves produce the sensation of sound” (How Stuff Work). Our ears are divided into three sections each section with its own parts and functions play their part in enabling us to hear a noise or sound. The outer ear collects and carries vibrations (sound) to the middle ear where it is amplified allowing…
