Sound

Troubled Pages In a sky of gloom, stood an immense mansion that had been bestowed within a psychotic nightmare. Trees roamed around the untamed fields like the living dead. All was going well in this home, until a shriek of despair was heard in the main foyer. A young girl runs down the staircase to find her mother impaled on the carpet. The corpse was already greeted by her brother before she got there. They cry out her name, hoping to get a response, but the foyer stayed silent. Shivers were…

They forget about the raw emotions that the artist was trying to get across to the listener within their work. It is easy to tell the different types of planes that different artists are trying to reach. Artists that play heavy beats with repetitive sounds and lyrics are appealing to the sensuous plane. They are trying to reach those people who are intrigued by loud noises and bass drops. Artists such as Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and Drake are some popular examples of singers on this plane. These…

is going to explode, I can’t breathe. What an awful city, the fog is so dense that even the tall old street lamps can’t penetrate it. The tree branches look like haunted bony claws, the benches are empty and there’s not a soul in sight! Damn! The sound I was trying to follow is gone! This can’t be happening to me! Why am I here? I continue to run on the slippery concrete pavement and I don't realize that I ran too far and I’m in the middle of the park, breathless, and even though I’m close to…

this has never happened to me before. Every one of our friends has moved or just stopped talking to us. This was different. “Let’s get breakfast and coffee at our favourite spot,” I said grabbing my car keys and getting my coat and shoes. “Yeah, that sounds good. Mrs Maklar!” Arabella said “Yes, honey!” My mom yelled back “Mia and I are going to Super Deluxe!” Arabella yelled back and got her shoes and coat on. “Okay see you guys later!” My mom yelled back and continued to make preparation for…

house, I was surrounded. As a small child, I was delighted when my mom bought a piano for our house, and I randomly pressed keys on the piano until I stumbled across a soothing sound. At the age of 9, I picked up a clarinet. As anyone would imagine, a fourth grader picking up an instrument for the first time, I didn't sound too great, but after weeks of my bands 6 a.m. practices, I began to improve steadily. I knew from then on, I would push myself to become the best musician I could possibly…

I awoke quickly in the pitch black bedroom from a sound down the hall, my best friend laying beside me still in a deep sleep. As I lay still, (deathly still, deathly quiet, lifeless) I think to my self, “ am I hearing things, have I gone crazy?” (delirious, insane) I hear the noise coming from down the hall, I jump up and cautiously walk toward the bedroom door, the slightest light shining off from my alarm clock is glaring threw the dark (Lightless) bedroom. Grasping the bedroom door handle,…

Introduction The repetitive nature of playing a musical instrument may cause a musician to experience discomfort, pain, or injury during the course of their life. This pain is often the result of repetitive movement or overuse of the tendons, nerves, and/or muscles referred to as a repetitive strain injury. One common repetitive strain injury is carpal tunnel syndrome, which occurs due to constant pressure and irritation of the carpal tunnel. For a serious musician, the occurrence of repetitive…

Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) CAS is a pediatric neurological speech sound disorder. This disorder impairs the precision and consistency of the movements that underlie speech. However neuromuscular deficits are absent. It may be the result of a known neurological impairment, and include complex neurobehavioral disorders with known or unknown origins. It may also occur as an idiopathic neurogenic speech sound disorder. The main impairment in planning and/or programming spatiotemporal…

How does sight and hearing affect your reaction time? Introduction/Background: Many researchers have confirmed that the reaction time for sound is faster than reaction time for sight. Average reaction times for hearing being 140-160 milliseconds and a visual reaction time being 180-200 milliseconds. (Galton, 1899; Woodworth and Schlosberg, 1954). This is because an auditory stimulus only takes 8-10 milliseconds to reach the brain (Kemp et al., 1973) whilst a visual stimulus takes 20-40…
