Sound

sing it just to see how many people actually listen to the music that they have been putting out. You could anticipate similarities and differences when comparing an album and a concert, but would you really know how much would change or what would sound different in an arena compared to your headphones, I don’t think many could. Going in to a concert your heart is racing from anticipation and your nerves are very high because you’re not quite sure what to expect. Listening to an album for the…

Middle Ear Case 2A A 60 year old female was seen today for an audiological evaluation following the persistence of fluctuating, hearing loss and tinnitus in her right ear over the last year. She also reports occasional dizziness and aural fullness that affects her right ear more than her left ear.

eating ice cream, you could sit and listen to the pipe organ play in the background on a hot, summer day. In the reading about the pipe organ, it mentions that one of the different ways it makes different sounds is through flue or reed pipes. My question would be, what is the difference in the sound of each type of pipe, and what are they made out of? The reading also introduced the concepts of harmonics, which is playing surrounding notes around the one that is played. One interesting fact…

When it comes to the technical aspects of Dr. Strangelove, no two are more important than the sound/music and the framing. The music and sound included in the film play an incredibly important role in guiding the audience from scene to scene and signaling shifts in mood as well as increases/decreases in tension. For example, each time that Major Kong and his men on the B-52 are reintroduced, the patriotic theme (the tune of which is a play on When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again) aptly named…

I could almost see the markings of a pencil that had been pushed into the texture of the white wall. I stood up, and walked over to see what it said. I passed a lady who had fallen asleep on my right that filled the room with an obnoxious rumble that echoed throughout the room. I neared the spot and could make out the words “Hel…” the last word, looked like someone had drew it if they had been in a hurry to write it before they were taken away. Fear encased my brain as I wandered what actually…

My eyes open from a deep sleep to the sound of loud, ferocious barking coming from our dog, Choncey, in the front yard. He only barked like this when he was scared, so I knew that something or someone was frightening him. My wife, Genevieve, says, “Jules, go check outside to see what is bothering Choncey.” “Ok, ma chérie, I will make sure we are safe.” I replied. Sneaking carefully down the stairs, I look out the windows to see if anyone is there. All I see is Choncey making a fuss toward his…

Imagine you’re just watching tv then you hear a loud boom and suddenly your ears start ringing, days later you realize you can’t hear out of your left ear. Your life is changed forever. Sounds horrendous doesn’t it. In summer of 2015 this tragic incident happened to me. When it first happened, I let it take a toll on my life, then I realized, life has no limitations except the ones we make. The first time I failed a hearing test was in the 3rd grade. I didn’t tell my parents because I…

was a time when rappers, specifically Kanye, wanted to blur the lines between genres. This auto-tune ballad of an album paved the way for new artists to enter the music industry. Many credit this album as the influence behind Drake’s revolutionary sound that further blurred the lines between Rap and Pop music (Greene). An article titled “The Coldest Story Ever Told: The Influence of Kanye West’s 808s & Heartbreak” described the following when dissecting the impact auto-tune had on Kanyes music…

Try not to listen to music more than an hour (60 minutes). I would listen to 15 minutes of music each day, If I could. The articles…

1930’s, before recordings were popularized amongst Nazi leaders, many of their speeches were dictated and taken down in short hand by stenographers or secretaries and then later typed up. Beginning in 1940, the movement to replace stenographers with sound recording equipment had just begun. The initial outcome was not effective until late 1942, when the technique had been perfected. Hitler would broadcast political speeches over the radio to help help foster likemindedness and unity among the…
