November 25, 2011 What do you hear? Cells in your ear are impacted by waves and register their shape and size-frequencies and amplitude-and almost everyone can hear those. Can you hear more? Listening is a skill; it can be improved upon. I’ll post tips on how to improve your listening skills later but now I just want to share a few examples of “insightful” listening. Please excuse the unfortunate pretentiousness.
November 16, 2011 I was never that super cool dude with the booming car stereo, where the sub-woofers significantly caused diminished trunk space, or the super cool kid on the bus with the loud iPod anyone can hear from more than 5 feet away; Best yet, where I’m from in Jamaica, the dude in front of the speaker box at the session (alternative word for party) acting like the ridiculously loud volume is not bothering him. Instead, I am the guy that complains about volume levels in the rehearsal room, at the sound check, and during the gig. I’m the guy that wears ear plugs only on rare occasions, but could never sing with them because of this and that, so just never used them much. That’s unfortunate, because now I’m the guy with TINNITUS.
