miners trapped 1,500 feet underground by a massive cave-in at the Crandall Canyon coal mine in Utah, a catastrophic collapse” (25). The repetition of the ‘c’ sounds add a percussive effect, building tension and accentuating the solemnity of the situation. Later on, Chamber Three is introduced comparing the murmurs of the heart to the sounds of classical music. As the passage continues, the diction conveys a musical tone, taking on a rhythm dictated by alliteration; “They learn to listen for…

to escape having to sit in silence with nothing but their own thoughts. Often times when the mind is left alone to wander it stumbles upon things that people try to push out of their memory and avoid. By using strong imagery, structural devices and sound effects song writer Tyler Joseph of Twentyone Pilots discusses this theme in the song “Car Radio”. All throughout the song Tyler manages to incorporate striking diction and phrases that set in place the impact that sitting in silence has on a…

Common bottlenose dolphins produce a wide variety of underwater sounds (Lammers & Oswald, 2015) allowing the detection and discrimination of the position of a sound in three-dimensional space (Mooney et al., 2008). These animals are also known for their vocal learning capabilities, with high ability to imitate other animal’s whistles, including man-made whistles or artificial sounds (Lilly, 1965; Janik & Slater, 1997; Tyack, 1997; Janik, 2000; Miksis et al., 2002). This ability comes from the…

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…

enough to send shivers down your spine. The audio cues associated with the killer alerts you to her presence, but more importantly it directly affects exploration. When the sounds emanate ahead of you, it would be wise to improvise a new route--that in turn reinforces the need to memorize Sehwa High School's layout. When the sounds originate behind you, it severely complicates an eventual retreat--especially if you've stumbled upon a dead end. Because of this, the thought that Ms. Song might…

In the movie The Finest Hours the sound aesthetic energy and mood is present during the rescuing of the shipmen. The back half of the SS Pendleton has just been found by the coastguard. The three men from the coastguard are looking up at the ship when the men on the ship begin to jump off into the water to get to the rescue boat. Up until this point the music had been slow and the tempo unchanging as both the men on the ship and the coastguard had been waiting to meet each other. As the men…

The sounds of rustling leaves and heavy panting were the only things heard as she ran through the forest. That, and the occasional... sound. Graghh! "Come on, Virgil! You have to be faster! Or that, thing, might get us... " A tiny silhouette dashing between tress. A terrier chasing after. Something on their trail. "I'm sorry, Virgil. Once we get home I won't yell at you anymore. I promise!" Awoo! ... When she saw that Virgil was peeing on her pillow, again, she couldn't help but…

The young male client had a Velopharyngeal Impairment (VPI). Working with him post-surgical repair was to increase intelligibility through practicing different sounds in sentences, blends, and in isolation. To help with his hyper-nasality, they put a straw next to his nose while he spoke to help him and the clinician measure how much air he lets escape through his nose. When the client first arrived, he was allowed to talk for a few minutes about his day. He is clearly very social, outgoing and…

has trouble with producing specific sounds. For example, a person may substitute sounds or leave out parts of a word. An individual could even change part of the word or add sounds to the word. After viewing therapy for articulation disorders, I concluded that the SLP will target the specific sounds that the patient is having problems producing. For example, in this specific video clip, the child is fronting her velars, so the SLP wants to target the velar sounds. The SLP provides a tub of…

I snap my fingers and the air around me shifts then vibrates. When the air vibrates, it creates a sound wave. Our ears pick up this wave and translates it so we can understand and comprehend what amazing intangible creation is before us. A middle C key is pushed on a piano, the hammer hits the tuned wire, the wire vibrates and creates the sound humans recognize as a simple C. As time has passed, humans have progressed from single note instruments, to handwriting sheet music for orchestras, to…
