https://padlet.com/hannatali4/dbvdjk9g25fm what does it mean when that note resounds in our ears? en-us 2017-10-19 19:49:20 UTC 2026-01-04 12:52:39 UTC hello@padlet.com hannatali4 https://padlet.com/hannatali4/dbvdjk9g25fm/wish/198856353 This song has a continuous pulsing chord of notes, that doesn't stop the whole song. I think because it is pulsing, it is less straining to hear, but still just as interesting. It meshes well with the other noises in the song.]]> 2017-10-19 19:49:48 UTC https://padlet.com/hannatali4/dbvdjk9g25fm/wish/198856353 hannatali4 https://padlet.com/hannatali4/dbvdjk9g25fm/wish/198858038 There is a jarring note that comes in the break between singing, that breaks up the smooth harmonious sounds that were going on prior. When I first heard it I thought it was a mistake in the audio, and when it persisted I was shocked that such a strange note was added, and on the offbeat off all things.]]> 2017-10-19 19:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/hannatali4/dbvdjk9g25fm/wish/198858038 hannatali4 https://padlet.com/hannatali4/dbvdjk9g25fm/wish/199194342 At what point while listening to music, do we start to believe it's all just noise? When I heard the song by The Coasters, it made me wonder what purpose the note had. It was jarring, it didn't fit, and it seemed like the noise was added just because the musician could add it. But it does make you aware that you are listening to a song that someone composed and they consciously made the decision to put a noise that doesn't exactly fit. To me, the single note is a reminder that the composers still hold the power. We cannot wish that note out of existence. It is there, whether we want it there or not. Our music collection may be our choice, but the composers still hold the power over what we hear and how the sound emerges.]]> 2017-10-20 19:16:06 UTC https://padlet.com/hannatali4/dbvdjk9g25fm/wish/199194342 hannatali4 https://padlet.com/hannatali4/dbvdjk9g25fm/wish/199196495 The musician is not doing what they are expected to. It is a song that has been created on the musician's terms, and not the listener's. ]]> 2017-10-20 19:23:47 UTC https://padlet.com/hannatali4/dbvdjk9g25fm/wish/199196495 hannatali4 https://padlet.com/hannatali4/dbvdjk9g25fm/wish/199197384 There can be noises accompanied with the bell, but we often focus completely on the bell: When will it sound again? How many times will it sound before it's over? What does it signify?]]> 2017-10-20 19:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/hannatali4/dbvdjk9g25fm/wish/199197384 hannatali4 https://padlet.com/hannatali4/dbvdjk9g25fm/wish/199198723 A very good way to build drama and tension off a single note. Listen to at least halfway through the song, because that is where it truly builds up.]]> 2017-10-20 19:33:36 UTC https://padlet.com/hannatali4/dbvdjk9g25fm/wish/199198723 hannatali4 https://padlet.com/hannatali4/dbvdjk9g25fm/wish/199357673 Ratliff, Ben.
