Sound

of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, TV-10 and Blugold Radio, a new program called Sounds of the Valley has been created to highlight local artists. Eli Klatt, a student at UW-Eau Claire, first joined TV-10 as a freshman, but was forced to make a choice between putting his time into TV-10 and Blugold Radio. Ultimately, Klatt chose to pursue his passion with Blugold Radio, but still found a way to contribute to TV-10. By creating Sounds of the Valley, Klatt is able to interview and record local artists as…

INTRODUCTION: The various competing sound present in our environment is being constantly untangled by our brain, and attributed into distinct perceptual streams analogous to the distinct sound sources in listeners’ environment (Bregman, 1990; Moore & Gockel, 2002; Carlyon, 2004). The process with which the nervous system makes sense of complex patterns of acoustic stimulation is called auditory scene analysis (Bregman, 1990). Thus, segregating the sounds arising from various sources in the…

MULTIFREQUENCY- MULTICOMPONENT TYMAPNOMETRY IN NORMAL HEARING ADULTS Abstract Multifrequency tympanometry refers to testing middle ear function at higher frequency(678,1000Hz) where as Multicomponent refers to measuring middle ear function for various components(Y,B,G). middle ear function varies with frequency and is capable of distinguishing subtle acoustical changes in the middle ear system hence the main application of MFT is in cases with low…

Brunel, Vallet & Versace(2009) created a study to examine the effect cross-modal priming presents when interrupted by visual and auditory simulations/masks, in order to prove that the priming effects is contingent to intuition/knowledge. Two experiments were conducted; each consisted of twenty-four students from Lyon 2 University in France, who were all right-handed and had normal/corrected vision. The first experiment focused on visual priming, which consisted of six practice trials and six…

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…

inestimable instrument. It is breathtaking. As the years went by, instruments came along with different sizes, shapes and sounds. It it amazing what can someone make when combining vocal music with instrumental music. In today’s society we can see divergent musical genres and even different interpretations of music. It ranges from the gentle sound of Classical music, to the thunderous sound of rock. During this era, instrumental music was very significant and many people were able to enjoy…

defined as “an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound organized in time.” An art form of sound that no person can physically see, touch, or taste, though this art form affects the listener in the deepest ways. Human emotions are affected by all of our senses, though sound allows us to communicate and understand different parts of the world. From the moment we enter this world, our ears are filled with an overwhelming amount of sounds. Over time, our brain is able to comprehend…

setting up the tent getting the poles, out putting them together, setting them up right, out of nowhere a light bolt struck right at them. They all jumped and started to put out the fire it left. “Ha….Ha….Ha….” They could hear in the faint distance sounds like a little girl. “Hey! Why are you guys laughing at me?” Noah yelled frustrated getting a little red in the face. “It wasn't us! We heard it too, it must be the spirits.” Jim said creepily and looking around. They continued…

The most challenging duty for a columnist, blogger, or anyone who writes about popular music is appealing to a demographic of musos and die-hard admirers. It’s one thing to venture off into the skeptical world of music aficionados alone, granted that you’ve taken a class or two on how to speak their technical language, but it's another thing to venture off without being able to communicate why an artist’s musical choices are, in fact, artistic. Take, for example, Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A…

28th, July, 2015 Today was a normal day. Dark hues of blue still clouded the sky as I quietly ate a cup of rice and vegetables. As my boots trudged along the snowy ground, my sunken eyes gazed at the rows of rusted cages. I stood upon the whimpering sounds of white, furry coats as my boss angrily instructed us. There was a flurry of women, each grabbing a rabbit. I quickly grasped one, the softness of their fur petting my skin. My shivering legs dragged me to the steel table, quickly…
