Wall of Sound

I went back to sleep. I awake in pain, at around three in the morning. I go to the bathroom to get some medicine, when i again feel like i am being watched. Full of uneasiness, i head downstairs to eat the feelings away, like always. I hear a weak knock at the door, as if the knocker was afraid of breaking the door. I open the door and a hooded figure falls through the doorway, onto the floor. I try to help the person, and i ask if it is okay. When it doesn’t respond, i tap it on what i thought…

It’s late at night and I feel very hungry, I really don’t want to wake up anyone in the house so I just sneak out of my room to the kitchen. With my stomach grumbling, I open the fridge and take out a chocolate milk carton. I look around to make sure I haven’t woken anyone up and I took a long quenching drink directly from the milk carton. I then close the carton and put it back in the refrigerator. I don’t think my mom has no idea I do this a couple of times a week. B. I had been planning my…

Yet, children with APD will perform better in areas that…

Kuroko walked back into his living room to see that the other five guys had not moved much. The only obvious difference was that Kise was not sitting next to Murasakibara. He quickly found that they did not notice him and he relaxed a little. Born with a very low, mostly undetectable presence had left Kuroko accustomed to being unnoticed. He found that though it was considered a curse, his low presence came quite in handy at times. He spotted Akashi still lying down on the side of the couch he…

Pennhurst Asylum, Spring City, PA 1987 All I hear is voices. All day, everyday, that's all I can hear. Sometimes I think it's normal, at least they keep me company. There are so many, but one voice always sticks out above all of them. Overall she usually stays calm, but she screams at me sometimes. She gets angry when I don’t do as she asks. 2 years earlier: I squirm in my seat on the park bench and wonder what my life would be like if I was like them; if only I was like the other kids in my…

One of these questions was “Who much schooling does it take to be a Speech Pathologist?” Ms. Smith answer by stating “There are two options in Michigan.

a live production, or if you are watching a recital through a computer screen. The performances both include very unique uniforms, scenery, dancers, and music timbre. But what you miss out on when watching a recording, is hearing the live gamelan sounds flood around you and all the energy in the concert hall. Over all, I prefer the live version. The melodies in both versions have very large ranges due to the various instruments. Each type of instrument plays their own rhythm and when layered…

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…
