Listening , TED EX

TED EX- There trillions of different sounds in the world and it would e impossible to create them all. Modern technology has made it possible to create what ever sound we want even the once that dont exist outside our minds and screens. This talk was very informative on the world of sound design and just how much work and creativity is put into making sounds. The level of understanding of the world we live in and the relationship between our ears , our mind, space and time is amazing. ambient sound was the most interesting part for me to hear. i never thought about room sounds and what the world outside vocals, animals and machines sound like. It makes me wonder if i could recognize the sound of my own room.

carpenters -We've Only Just Begun-  beautiful voice very captivating. the song is very calming and cheerful and the vocals makes me want to sway left to right. when the drums and the pace picks up its very cheerful but i like the slower parts better. the faster paced sections i feel take away from the voice and its less relaxing, the slow parts makes me feel warm and cuddled like im being sung to buy a motherly figure.

America- A Horse with No Name-A cowboy rode into town on friday, stayed 3 days and rode out again on friday. How did he do that? Thats just the first thing that came to my mind lol. The song was decent the interesting part was the lyrics. it was like he was sharing an experience but not necessarily telling a story. The lalalas where catchy and the guitar gave the song a fun vibrant vibe. The lyrics where seemingly random and confusing but intriguing and gave the song depth.

Simon and Garfunkel- “The Boxer”- i liked the guitar in the beginning for the first few seconds then it quickly sounded like a children rhyme. the trumpets (i think it was a trumpet) gave it even more of a childlike feel. The music was very cheerful but the lyrics where slightly darker but the tone of voice was very soothing and fitting for the music.
