What I'm dealing with is sound. I don't pretend to be dealing with music. I'm just dealing with sound elements, textures and sounds.
If music was made by some kind of critical theorist, it would sound like my music.
He seems determined to make a trumpet sound like a tin whistle.
Is word, sound, and powa dat break down de barriers of oppression an drive away transgression an rule equality.
Virtual simulations allow post-traumatic stress disorder sufferers to re-experience the events that traumatized them, and then slowly desensitize themselves to their impact through repeated recreations involving not just sight and sound but even smell.
The radio is playing jazz, and I listen to the sound of the trumpet playing a solo until I become that sound.
I played trumpet in the school bands. I learned things I liked to play on my trumpet, but I didn't learn why this note goes with this note and why it produces that sound. Or how to create tension in the composition.
Tying money up for 40 years doesn't sound appealing when you are young.
I love working on a typewriter - the rhythm, the sound; it's like playing the piano, which I do, too.
I like the sound a typewriter makes.
Barack Obama may have found the answer to his biggest rhetorical challenge: When millions of voters are unemployed or underemployed, how does a president simultaneously sound realistic and optimistic?
That's the thing I like about my sound. It's real raw and very unsafe compared to a solid state kind of sound.
Capitol Records were very keen for me to write and see how I got on; I think that is what defined my sound. The first session I had was with two young up-and-coming writers, Nick Atkinson and Tom Wilding, and I went into a session a bit nervous because I hadn't written that many songs before.
I mainly use Stratocasters. I like a lot of different kinds of guitars, but for what I do, it seems that a Stratocaster is the most versatile. I can pretty much get any sound out of it, and I use stock pickups.
I needed to explore my talent and versatility and see if I had another side to me, another sound.
I've created a new sound. I've actually brought back dancing and vibes; it's more universal.
Harmonics are vibrations a fraction of the length of the vibrating string, which add higher-pitched and more complex content to the notes. With a dull instrument, the harmonics die out, but with a sustaining instrument, the harmonics continue to sound along with the fundamental note.
Just because the gender of the vocalist is the same, that doesn't actually tell you anything about the sound of the band.
I'm not a singer. I double-track my vocals. I'm just not secure in my voice. I can't do single-track - I sound weird.
I don't try to make one thing. I really try to experiment, even if its just the vocals or the beat. I can't really describe my sound.
