Sound stage

within an orchestra. To be able to distinguish the individual sounds and more importantly, the individual superimposed vibrations travelling to the listener, the auditory system, and the architecturally designed environments, have specific methods that allow the listeners ears to hear a reliable impression of what is going on around us, be that musical or simply auditory (Plomp, n.d.). There are factors that can alter the way that sound is heard by the listener in various environments. One main…

The piece was performed by pianist Derek Polischuk and trombonist Ava Ordman. They did a superb job and I really liked Ordman’s style. Her use of vibrato made everything she played even more beautiful and her stage presence was very entertaining. It was clear that she was going all out and I greatly respect that in a musician. In terms of the piece, it was divided into three unique sections that each had a variety of styles and techniques. All three sections…

Welders Revealed Striding into the shop the very first aspect to stimulate the senses is the sound. Grinding, whirring, scraping, and popping seem to be the most prominent. The cacophony nearly overshadows the other senses until it is adjusted to, as much as it can be. Then come the smells. The scent of well-oiled threaders, saws, and myriad other machines unidentifiable to the untrained eye stews almost subconsciously while the perfumes of scalding steel and elbow grease permeate the air. One…

Acoustic reflexes are contractions of the stapedius muscle in the middle ear. This reflex occurs when a loud sound is presented to the ear causing the tympanic membrane to stiffen and cause a change in immittance (Martin & Clark, 2012). When measuring the acoustic reflex threshold, we are measuring the softest sound that can cause a reflex of the stapedius muscle as well as the duration of time needed for the reflex to decay. The reflex is presented as a deflection, or a curve/dip, on the…

hear the brassy sound given off by the trumpets. I used to be a trumpet player so I enjoy to listen to the sounds it can produce. The Jazz Night consisted of four groups that each performed their own unique variation of Jazz music. I was amazed by all the performances, even the Vocal Jazz which I thought was going to be my least…

Stages of Production Preproduction: Preproduction is the stage of production where you brainstorm ideas and get ready for the recording of your advert at the studio.

Therapeutic listening is a novel concept that also provides musical stimulation for increasing various skills, as described by Frick and Montez (2005): Therapeutic listening uses developmental and sensory integration frameworks, uses the organized sound patterns inherent in music, uses music that is electronically altered to elicit a specific response, focuses on postural organization and breath regulation (core), and provides a catalyst for eliciting emergent skills (p. 2). Therapeutic…

with listening to the first sentence or skipping through the song to listen inattentively. In writing this I’m going to show you there are other great ways to listen to music in sensuous plane, expressive plane and sheerly musical plane. The first stage of listening to music is the sensuous plane. This is when we listen to music simply just for pleasure. It…

The sound effects in Star Wars illuminated the entire film, making it a gifted piece of art. Star Wars has such incredible sound effects that it is hard to compare another film to it. Jurassic Park, directed Colin Trevorrow can rival with the sound effects performed in the Star Wars movies. See a sound; hear a sound. Every time you see some action on the screen, your mind expects there to be a complimentary sound. The Foley artists from each film were exceptionally creative when they were…

and neglect. That the greatest artists knew the most pain. When the light shines down on the stage, illuminating a solid circle of eerie radiance, silence descends upon the room. It was like the rest of the world was tucked away in a neat blackness, unable to penetrate the serene silence before a performance. Most performers say afterwards that a divine calmness descends upon them before they step on stage- that all worries and fears are sculpted away in those silent moments. But today, she was…
