Interesting videos about sounds and music

Not a documentary, but an interesting interview by Terry Gross of a musician who lost his hearing (& nearly his life) in a terrorist train bombing. Over the course of his recovery, as he listened to recordings at volumes high enough that he could feel the words, he began writing songs, better than ever before. He once said, in an interview with Stu Nunnery (another musician who suffered catastrophic hearing loss), “That was when I became a songwriter. Really that is when I became an artist. Like I found words and texture. Sound is a texture.”

Thank you very much it seems fascinating!

For any poet words are mucic in itself, rythm , melody and harmony...

It is the reason why i admire and love Gesualdo and Monteverdi the geniuses who created opera by revealing the words potential rythms inflexions...Two unique composers because the music comes more from the "born again" words with their own music then putting music on ready made words...

Welcome here by the way...😊

The dense orchestration and vocal harmonies---along with the somewhat poor recorded sound quality---of The Beach Boy’s recording of the song prevent one from fully hearing and appreciating the very sophisticated composition of the song

Now when you hear it in Dolby Atmos, its stunning. Not just that track ether, the entire Beach Boy catalog in Dolby Atmos is like being in the studio.
