Echo vs. Reverberation

Autonomous sensory meridian response. A video intended to trigger ASMR Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a euphoric experience characterized by a static-like tingling sensation on the skin that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine, precipitating relaxation.

The Pioneers : An Anthology : Étienne-Jules Marey (1830 - 1904) Étienne-Jules Marey (1830 - 1904) Étienne-Jules Marey : Movement in Light : During the 1860s Marey threw himself into the study of flight, first of insects and then birds.

The Pioneers : An Anthology : Étienne-Jules Marey (1830 - 1904)

His aim was to understand how a wing interacted with the air to cause the animal to move. He also devised some ingenious apparatus based on his graphical method, such as a corset which allowed a bird to fly around a circular track while recording the movements of its thorax and wings. Étienne-Jules Marey, c.1880. Cricket (insect) Crickets , family Gryllidae (also known as "true crickets"), are insects somewhat related to grasshoppers , and more closely related to katydids or bush crickets (family Tettigoniidae) and Weta (families Anostostomatidae and Rhaphidophoridae).

Cricket (insect)

They have somewhat flattened bodies and long antennae . There are more than 900 species of crickets. [ 1 ] They tend to be nocturnal [ 2 ] and are often confused with grasshoppers because they have a similar body structure including jumping hind legs. Crickets are harmless to humans. Cricket chirping [ edit ] The Influence Machine. Phantasmagoria. 18th-century phantasmagoria Phantasmagoria ( American pronunciation , also fantasmagorie, fantasmagoria) was a form of theatre which used a modified magic lantern to project frightening images such as skeletons, demons, and ghosts onto walls, smoke, or semi-transparent screens, frequently using rear projection.

Phantasmagoria

The projector was mobile, allowing the projected image to move and change size on the screen, and multiple projecting devices allowed for quick switching of different images. Invented in France in the late 18th century, it gained popularity through most of Europe (especially England) throughout the 19th century. History[edit] Film by Federico Urdaneta. AM05 Hot + Cool™ Nickel/Nickel - Overview. Cymatics. Ernst Chladni. Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni (German: [ˈɛʁnst ˈfloːʁɛns ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈkladnɪ]; 30 November 1756 – 3 April 1827) was a German physicist and musician.

Ernst Chladni

His most important work, for which he is sometimes labeled the "father of acoustics", included research on vibrating plates and the calculation of the speed of sound for different gases.[1] He also undertook pioneering work in the study of meteorites and so is also regarded by some as the "father of meteoritics".[2] Personal life[edit] Although Chladni was born in Wittenberg in Saxony, his family originated from Kremnica, then part of the Kingdom of Hungary and today a mining town in central Slovakia. Chladni has therefore been identified as German,[3][4] Hungarian[5] and Slovak.[6] Martin Chladni, Ernst Chladni's grandfather Chladni's method of creating Chladni figures.

Chladni Plate

Sprinkle some powder across the plate. 2. Starting at a signal of a few hundred hertz, slowly turn the amplifier power up until the powder starts to vibrate. Adjust the frequency and volume until patterns appear! To reduce friction, I periodically rub graphite powder over the plate and brush off any excess. Cymatics. Vibrator (mechanical) A vibrator is a mechanical device to generate vibrations.

Vibrator (mechanical)

The vibration is often generated by an electric motor with an unbalanced mass on its driveshaft. When mobile phones and pagers vibrate, the vibrating alert is produced by a small component that is built into the phone or pager. Many older, non-electronic buzzers and doorbells contain a component that vibrates for the purpose of producing a sound. Tattoo machines and some types of electric engraving tools contain a mechanism that vibrates a needle or cutting tool. Alexander Lauterwasser. In 2002, Lauterwasser published his book Wasser Klang Bilder (Water Sound Images)[1] with imagery of water surfaces set into motion by sound sources ranging from pure sine waves to music by Ludwig van Beethoven, Karlheinz Stockhausen and even overtone chanting.

In 2006, MACROmedia Publishing published the English version of the Lauterwasser book titled Water Sound Images.[2] It is a 176 page hardcover edition with hundreds of color photos, presenting the art, science and mystical side of Cymatics.

All the images in this article are the work of the German researcher and photographer Alexander Lauterwasser. He created them by transferring the sound waves produced by the music into water, and photographing the results using reflected light. Opus 147 "Multidimensional" (1957) by Thomas Wilfred. Amazing Pendulum Wave Effect! Infinity Mirror Illusion! Music and representation. This article first appeared in NMA 8 magazine. "When Kant's trancendental ego and Hegel's Absolute Spirit are consigned to the dustbin of history, there can be no mistaking the consequent triumph of spontaneity. As a result, theory (the contemplation of truth) is replaced by interpretation (a perspectival fiction, masquerading as theory).

All thinking is then hermeneutical. As Michel Foucault once expressed, `the death of interpretation is to believe that there are signs, signs which have a primary, original, real existence. . . . The life of interpretation, on the contrary, is to believe that there are only interpretations.'" In any attempt to understand music it is necessary to draw the distinction between empirical analysis and analysis via analogy and what models of analysis are being used at any particular point in time.

Hermeneutics addresses the problem concerning the relationship between empirical analysis and analogy. Representation ". . .Such is credulity. Untitled - politics-of-presque-rien.pdf.

Kulning , or herding calls (called kauking and kaukning in some parts of Norway, in the province of Dalarna in Sweden and the former Norwegian provinces in Sweden Jämtland and Härjedalen, also kulokker , kyrlokker or a lockrop ) is a domestic Scandinavian music form, often used to call livestock (cows, goats, etc.) down from high mountain pastures where they have been grazing during the day.

It is possible that the sound also served to scare away predators ( wolves , bears , etc.), but this was not the main purpose of the call. Folk Music in Jamtland.
