Neon Lamp Traces Sound Waves

That's sound wave you see in the picture above. Here demonstrating how an acoustic lens focuses sound from a a horn, the wave was made visible with the device at left-an alluminium rod with a microphone and a neon lamp at the end. A small motor swings the rod in a wide arc, scanning the area. The microphone picks up the sound and turns it into electric current to fed the lamp. where ever the sound is strongest, the light is brightest, and the wave is traced out. A complete sound photo, such as this from Bell labs, takes 10 minutes exposure. 

Learn To Listen The Music

Usually the music is played while we clean the house or wash clothes. It is in the background, but we do not actually listen to it. To really enjoy 'good' music of any genre we must really listen to it. Sit down, have a cup of coffee or a drink of choice, and listen. You will be amazed at how enjoyable this can be.

Listen to music that might be new to you, or that you wished you could understand. Try a light opera, or perhaps an instrumental music. Do not think of anything else. This is a time to listen, enjoy and relax. You are going to try to develop a mental map of the music.

Understand that in musical composition, there are three main technical ideas:
-o- Repetition
-o- Variation
-o- New Melodies

Listen, and try to notice whether what you are hearing is the same as what you have previously heard in the same piece. Identify the elements:

Learn that the introduction, or beginning of a piece is always new. There is very often also something new very near the end. Locate passages that you find especially rewarding. Are these passages repetitions, variations, or new? If they are variations, can you realize what it was that was varied?5

Listen once more to the same passage. This time, pay attention to what brings the music to these passages. Listen to as many details as you can.
-o- Colors
-o- Balances
-o- Textures of the different sounds of which music is composed.

Try to isolate specific details:
-o- Rhythms, whether in the foreground or background, that seem to interact
-o- Short melodic figures, either in the principal melody
 -o- Accompaniment.


Listen again, narrowing your focus: listen only to the bass, if there is one. Notice things in the bass that seem alive, pregnant with meaning. Notice all the details you previously noticed by switching your attention from one to the other.

Develop your mental map of the characters, actors and energies that combine to create music. If these steps are correctly followed, the result will be a panoramic expansion of your musical experience, which may be likened to listening in color.
