Sound design

Music. It’s just a five letter word that may only mean to people, the sounds that come out of the radio or what they have downloaded into their iPods or even the background to an amazing new dance craze, but it means so much more than that to me. Songwriters in my opinion take the time to pull out that pen and paper to write down what they know, experienced, and felt to make into a melody so that others can relate to what they have and know that there is someone out there just like them. When…

Haslbeck continues justifying their claim by conducting an…

In the song “The Sound of Silence” by Paul Simon the diction is conveyed very well in which the writer is trying to help us to imagine what is happening in the dream. In an article entitled “Song Analysis: Sound of Silence” by Wizzler the author states that “In the 1960s, the middle and upper class majority held the expectation that no one should disturb the silence or voice their controversial opinions”. For example, the phrase “Silence” is used at the end of every stanza to help convey the…

As a few of my friends and I were walking down the road by the Lidtke Mill, we suddenly saw a shadowy image in the window. We then went in the Mill. Walking in, we heard strange sounds, screams. All we wanted to know is if it was real or if someone was playing a cruel joke on us. When we realized that there was a fire back in 1894, we did not know if anybody was killed in the fire or not. As we walked, the screams got louder and louder. We were walking around and saw writing in bold. We tried…

On a summer day five years ago, I discovered an envelope tucked away in the corner of the drawer in the kitchen. One glance and I knew exactly what it was, and without wasting any time I defiantly tore open the envelope. Enclosed in the envelope was a family surprise, one that was intended to remain a secret until the baby was born. I, being the tricky twelve-year-old that I was, thought it pretty savvy of myself to have effortlessly stumbled upon such an important document. However, things…

him to return “home.” The poem is a representation of the journey of life, conveyed through Warren’s structure and symbolism. Moth-Hour’s structure is extremely strict: each of its five quatrains have a rhyme scheme of “A, B, A, B,” emphasizing the sound structure of life. In the first three, the primary line concerns the voice that the author has heard, while the rest contains vivid imagery of the location at which he heard it. Each time Warren hears the voice, he is exploring nature in some…

where the sound materialized from. We recognize that there was a dilapidated, undiscovered house. It seemed the house was protruding because of its size and quality. A man wearing a white T- shirt, cerulean jeans, and a pair of cracked slippers expeditiously dashed over here. He held a baseball in his hand. I knew that I was in excessive trouble. I accidentally hit the ball too hard. The ball flew tremendously high in the sky, travelled around the baseball field. “Bang!” A crisp, broken sound of…

have advanced greatly over the years, and that has affected the size and the sound of the orchestra. The orchestra started off as small groups of instrumentalists, playing for important occasions.
