Blog post #6

According to Krukowsi’s podcast, Ways of Hearing, episode 3 – Love, he talks about the dynamics of our voice and sound and how its utilized into our digital world. He points out that language is like a musical melody which I agree. Music is incorporated into almost everything in this world and language is rhythmical. In the podcast, the relation of music and language was discussed, it stated that Linguistics professors these days, forget the music aspect of language”We speak in a systematic pattern that is the foundation of language, which we learned to interpret. He also points out that the quality of sound has decreased with the increase of technology and that can affect the meaning of the words we use. Nothing amounts to being in the presence of someone listening to them “reconstructing” them naturally.
 

What I find the most interesting in this article is how sound can be used as an aid to help those sleep. Hearing the rain hit surfaces has much more affect than you would believe. It sparks those tingling sensations, and you feel at ease just off the sound. Sound is powerful as it can be used to set an ambience which alters the mood you’re in. People click on ASMR videos for relief from something I suppose.
