Title: sound and/or sounds
Post by: ativan on July 22, 2011, 05:52:03 PM
Cause I got them horses on my mind, it would have to be the little nickery lippy thing in your ear when they like you.

A small river running the steep walls of the canyon it has carved out to Lake Superior on the north shore. The falls and the sound of water rushing through the rapids is humbling.

rain hitting the roof

aspen leaves trembling slightly in a breeze

snow falling in a silent winter night

a hat brushing the microphones on a hearing aid.

nearly inaudible, but a blanket being rubbed against skin to warm up.

very soft footsteps and paw-steps on carpet.

(perhaps more disturbing: a very soft-pitched, constant humming-like sound that experiences no change in pitch. you think it's a washing machine, but are informed it is a woman screaming in her room. sad day.)

May I assume these sounds are things we like?  Mine are the crackling of a large fire, surf breaking on the shore, rain falling, wind in the trees

a thunderstorm

a couple mice running on the floor

leaves dropping off the trees in fall

People are writing things that way, but I suppose the thread is just an excuse to write something that drifts without really drifting.
The same as the smell thread.
We can go off on tangents without really going off.

I personally like the sound of large caliber weapons and the smell.

a handful of little kittens all purring at the same time
The sound a baby racoon makes when talking to you
The horse whinney's when you walk in the barn at feeding time. Sweet feed=heroin for horses

a harley, better yet being at the back of around a hundred Harley's cruising the back roads to small town bars that welcome that kind of thing.

Rain hitting the rooftop
A baratone voice humming
Piano music... any kind, I love piano
Drums!  Percussion gets my heart racing, lol

And, um, the whirring of my window AC unit, if for no other fact than that it drowns out the noises from my loud neighbors, lol XD

Taka: You might also really like what this guy can do with his voice, then: http://www.wimp.com/throatsinging/ (http://www.wimp.com/throatsinging/)  When I watched your video it made me think of this one, it's possibly the same sort of singing.

The piano has been drinking. If you like that one try out 'I Hope I Don't Fall in Love with You'

Heartbeats. My head on someone's chest, listening to their heart beat. My girlfriend, my boyfriend, my dog. Doesn't matter. I love hearing the sound of someone I love living.

(This is weird) But I also love hearing someone's stomach gurgling. I have a huge fascination with internal organs and intestines though.

@sunny: it is the same singing, only difference is that bady-dorzhu is a true master of the style who has been taught by one of the best of the old masters. i seriously like his voice, and i've even been lucky enough to meet him irl. only years after meeting him did i learn how great he really is in his homeland..

Post by: sunny-side on July 25, 2011, 03:19:23 PM
Taka: ah ok.  That's really cool that you got to meet him.  You'll have to forgive an untrained ear like mine for not knowing the difference in skill.  I'm feeling quite lucky that I was even able to draw the connection in the singing style, really, lol

One hand clapping...

The sound of a frame drum fading, and the profound silence that comes after in certain places.

The body-permeating sound/feel of an odaiko.

A violin or cello, if well-played.  (If badly played it's one of the worst sounds...)

Voices in almost-perfect, but not too perfect, harmony.

The crunchy aliasing of bitcrushed, ring-modulated, distorted audio.  (Synth and industrial music geek...)

Mourning doves, and the bird in our backyard that sings "germany germany germany dirt."

The white noise of a fan, at low levels.  I miss it when it's gone.

My wife humming contentedly.

When a song I actually like comes on at a disco - I get so over excited.
Title: Re: sound and/or sounds
Post by: ativan on July 25, 2011, 06:51:11 PM
somebody said a train. I love listening in the distance, then while they go by, and the fade away.
Any kind of engine that produces high amount of power, the in your gut deepness, the feeling it's going to explode.....
The oncoming blades of a helicopter that is running them over the speed of sound, the booming of the blade tips
Jake brakes
Flash-boom lightning-thunder
5lbs of flash powder igniting at once in a Hardy's parking lot

The sound of my baby's breath when they would both be napping. I'd have them on each side of me. I'd just listen and listen...

The chorus of frogs every night in our pond out back
When the bass is turned up so high that it thumps in your chest
Skillfully played violins or cellos
And (strangely) the sound a Guitar Hero controller makes when you press on the colored fret buttons...but only the controller that came with the first game.

I got to hear my girls on video that has been lost for over ten yrs. It makes my mind reel! it brings back memories that had long been lost.
But, to hear my girls laughing, crying, argueing, and the almost non-stop chatter and giggling! I'm actually overwhelmed. I can only take a little at a time.

This soft, whisper-humming music I used to hear every day in the morning when I was little and used to take walks at dawn. You could sort of hear trains behind it, way off across town.

The sound of the beads in my baby doll's body, moving under my hands.

The sound of so many people talking, everything caves in around you.

The sighing sound of paper crinkling as you turn a page in a good book.

the lower registers of a flute
lightning and thunder
water sounds. waves, rain, flowing streams. water in motion.

on a side note, I simply hate it when people breathe audibly. can't stand it.

I have an uncle who breathes heavily through his mouth, and likes to stand close to people. Torture. Nice guy, though.
