Thread Name: appealing sounds
Subject: appealing sounds
As the old quote goes, "Music hath charm to soothe the savage breast." It has always interested me to listen to people talk about sounds. Why do some sounds soothe us, and others make us want to break things? I can not abide the hooting of a saxaphone for instance. They sound like a giant kazoo to me. And some half wit wringing the neck off an electric guitar makes me want to commit mayhem. Yet, Heifitz playing Beethovens violin concerto in D turns me into jelly. I also love the Dobro, and, the guitar (acoustic) in the right hands.Any thoughts? MBO?
