“What is that!?” Earl said. Earl is 57 years old and has been living in his house for eight weeks. In five weeks something has ran underneath Earl’s rug. It has came after a week of living there and it disappeared until two weeks later. The first time it came Earl was working on an important job and it ran underneath the rug and knocked over his lamp that was beside his desk. “Ahhh!” Earl screamed, “What is that? Is it a rat? Is it a mouse?” Earl thought to himself “What could have that been?…

After analyzing both videos I found that the first presenter lacked emotions while reading the poem; as can be seen, she demonstrated a good eye contact while reading at a normal pace. However, near the end of the video she continuously looks down at her paper. Not to mention, the camera is only focused on her face; in that case, the audience cannot see the paper. Indeed, what gives her away is when she hesitated for a few seconds; that indicated she had lost track of where she was in the…

Freddrick Fish Fingers It was 2:36 in the morning and Freddrick smelled burning fishsticks.He had never smelled this awful smelly smell before, for he had never burnt fishsticks in his 35 years making them at the fish fry shop.Freddrick sprang up out of bed grabbed his utility belt armed with ketchup, tarder sauce, forks and knifes. He then grabbed his cape and fish mask he made with real fish scales. He sprinted up the stares he kicked open the door stood at the top of the stares and…

The long, peculiar note of a bugle sounded, borne to us on the raw morning air to interrupt our conversation. It rose with a low, clear, warble, and seemed to float in the gray sky like the note of a lark. As it died away, I perceived that the atmosphere had changed; despite the equilibrium established by the storm, it was dynamic. The men thrust forward their heads, expanded their eyes and clenched their teeth. They breathed arduously, as though strangled by yanking at the leash. “Hoof it.” The…

Diablo As Victoria and I sat on the plush sofa in our atrium, studying for a particularly difficult math test that was to take place the next day, I glanced out of the glass doors in front of us, at the fog covered lake and clustered vegetation that circled our cement patio. By chance I happened to spot a milky colored patch of fur moving along the jungle within our back porch. I leaned forward to get a better look at this mysterious animal. “Lilli!” Victoria barked, as she tried to get me to…

xylophone that plays six notes What is sound and how does it travel? Sound is a sort of energy made by vibrations (Jane. E, 2016). When any object vibrates, it causes movement in the air particles (Jane. E, 2016). These particles bump into the particles close to them, which makes them vibrate too causing them to bump into more air particles (Jane. E, 2016). This movement, called sound waves, keeps going until they run out of energy (Carson. B, 2014) . Sound goes in waves from a transmitter to…

It was a dark, gloomy, summer evening, rain was in the forecast. I was on my usual bike strolls through the woods as I heard screams of women echoing through the mysterious forest. I went off my usually route to go check out what happened. The forest had trees the size of the Eiffel Tower and I started hearing creepy owl noises. As I got deeper and deeper to the center of the woods the noise intensified. I felt like I was being watched. I investigated the areas and looked for signs of abductions…

Songwriter is a job where you sit down in your office or anywhere and create songs for singers to sing. It all started centuries ago when music was discovered. People realized they need people to create lyrics for singers to sing, without songwriters they’ll won’t be any music because believe it or not but songwriters are important as much as singers or probably even more important, because without them then the singer won’t be able to sing anything. Not everyone has the talent to write songs…

It was a normal day in the woods, me and my family survived the first wave of aliens that invaded the world. I remember the day like it was yesterday, the huge monster came and attacked anything that made a sound. There was no way that anyone could have prepared or predicted the aliens. Any loud noise was unacceptable and irresponsible in my family. As time went out we have found out what noises are safe and which ones are not. We have figured out how to understand each other by using sign…

The proposed presentation explores the intersection between technology and performance, focusing on the use of sonification technology within a musical space. The technology in question realizes a unique objective: essentially turning neutral bio-signals into musical material that can be incorporated into a composition or performance. This process, the sonification of bio-signals, has a history in music that began in the 1970’s with the premiere of Alvin Lucier’s Music for Solo Performer. By…
