Listen with your skin.

So today it was a little too warm upstairs where my main system is.
I took off my shirt. That’s better. Hey…wait a minute does the music sound a tiny bit different? Better even?

Well it seems the answer could be YES.

There’s been scientific testing of the skin’s contribution to hearing. Not sure if it applies to listening to music, but it’s worth us subjectively testing it.

I can see it now. We’ll be able to recognize each other at the next
big audio fair. We’ll be the guys wearing a bathing suit and flip flops.

i ask myself this question:

How the way we think about our hearing and the way we think about "what is a sound" affect our way to interpret music and speech...

i just stumble on many books about sounds and hearing ...

I take also  an appointed meeting with the ophtalmologist in august , because i cannot read as easily as before on my reading tablet or on the computer ... i think i need new glass..😊

 

I discussed here with an objectivist for a week and the number of articles i read for this on my illuminated regular  computer  kill my eyesight...😊 The objectivist revenge so to speak...

i like to go somewhere on bike each day , stop and read a book in nature...

One of the big book i stumble to, among others,  is not easy to read on a small reading apparatus..

"Reason and Resonance A History of Modern Aurality" by Veit Erlmann

I just read the OP article in the scientific American.... Short and sweet...

I will resume it with a few words:

 

They said "dont speak to the wind" in the Bible , but science now say "dont speak into the wind" ... 😊

Proverbs 23 ;

"Dont speak to fools..."

It is one of the most cited proverbs by the way...

I read the bible when i was young...My parents were almost illiterate, i bought all books in the house... I begin with a dictionary and goes on with the Bible...

I read it all but some chapters were boring for a children...

 

The Bible contain my favorite story : Joseph and his brothers... I never read the Thomas Mann trilogy inspired by the story of Joseph... I must do it before dying i guess... Soon...

But the Babel tower is deep stuff... Almost news actuality these days...

Anyway without the Bible reading all the culture is blind and deaf...

My citation is not litteral, i needed it for my post...😊

If you read the interesting scientific american article you will know why...

 

Are you a Bible fundamentalist?😎

Only one would ask such a question ?

 

 

 

Where?
