Sound

Introduction A wave is a repeating disturbance or movement that transfers energy through matter or space. Waves are caused by vibrations. There are two types of waves, transverse, and longitudinal waves. The moving particles in transverse waves travel at right angles to the direction of transverse. Some examples of transverse waves are light waves and radio waves. A longitudinal wave is also known as a compression wave. The moving particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave.…

fourteen million views, and the rapper just released a remix with other renowned American rappers. The song got much more positive feedback from the American audience even though they don't understand what the Japanese rapper is saying, but like the sound of the music. No matter what language barrier, or how far a person lives, hip hop will always find some way to influence people. The…

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…

the moment a Disneyland guest first steps foot through the turnstiles at the Disneyland entrance, their senses go to work by creating memorable experiences in addition to emotions related to the smells, sight and sounds all around you. The sound of a blowing whistle or the chugging sound of The Disneyland Railroad as it’s pulling into Main Street Station. The essence of freshly baked treats flooding down through Main Street. Consequently, these memorable experiences, hopefully will create…

to answer yes to both questions. A sonic boom is a thunder like sound that can only be heard on the ground. A sonic boom is a shock wave created by an airplane or another aerospace object flying equal to or greater than the speed of sound. A physicist named Ernst Mach established a way to measure airspeed to the speed of sound. (Wonderpolis pg.2). Mach 1 is when you are flying at the speed of sound and Mach 2 is twice the speed of sound. If you are on an aircraft and a sonic boom happened, you…

The articulatory kinematic approach has received significant attention due to its focus on motor programming and planning. The nature of this treatment is designed to increase correct production of sounds by guiding clients to proper movement and placement of the articulators (Wambaugh & Mauszycki, 2010). Specific strategies employed during articulatory kinematic therapy include modeling, repetition, articulatory placement and tactile cueing, feedback…

and so on. In this part, he emphasizes the relationship between keeping the ear open while being safe, that is, aware of the sounds around us while avoiding damaging sounds, such as uncomfortable music, even when other seems not affect by that. Switching from feeling the music to actively joining in it, the author focuses on the description of resonance, a mixture of sound in order.…

sounded to me was that it felt like the sound was mostly harsh and piercing. At first it did sound smooth but around thirty seconds later the guitar went faster so it made the sound harsh. When all of the instruments are put together it all really sounded harsh with only like one spot where it was mellow. When it got in the middle and the end of the song, I really had to cover my ears because it got so loud to the point my speakers made the piercing sound. Sad part is that my speakers were on…

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…

spatial memory task. The participants in this study consisted of 46 undergraduate volunteers, 21 men, 26 women, with ages raging from 18-23. Eleven to twelve participants were assigned to four different conditions, one with no music, one with natural sound, and one with instrumental music, and one with vocal music. There were three tasks the participants had to complete, one was a verbal memory task, one was a spatial memory task, and one was a mental arithmetic task. For the verbal memory task…
