46: The Scourge of Modern Civilization

Mike Rugnetta opens the inaugural Reasonably Sound podcast with an appreciation of the ear, especially the floppy, weird-looking part of it on the side of your head.  Turns out it has a purpose besides stabbing holes in it!

1: The Ear

Why does your voice sound like your voice?  A lot of reasons, but Mike's interested in the dispersive mediums that impact it. This also leads to the first Reasonably Sound special guest, musician Jason Oberholtzer, and the first Reasonably Sound Contest.

2: The Voice

On this episode of Reasonably Sound, Mike Rugnetta considers noise-canceling headphones, whether you use them for cross-country flights or to mute your Simply Red-listening neighbor.  He tells you how they work (and don’t work), why the notion of neutral technology is a bunch of hooey (sorry, Chomsky), and that silence is a lie.

ALSO MENTIONED:

- Weird warbles
- Rare factions
- Oculus Rift
- Weirdly racist film stock
- Harvard’s anechoic chamber
- John Cage’s 4’33”
- Wearing noise-canceling headphones while listening to John Cage’s 4’33”

3: The Cadillacs of Quiet

Mike would like to talk with you about snikt.  And sploorp.  And butcher some French while he’s at it.  Today’s subject is onomatopoeia and the visual representation of sound, particularly in comics.

AMONG, BUT NOT ALL, THE THINGS MENTIONED:

- Proust
- Magritte
- Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics - http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Comics-The-Invisible-Art/dp/006097625X/?tag=infguest-20
- Roy Crane - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Crane
- The fadeout on the coda of Queen’s immortal “Fat Bottomed Girls” on the band’s greatest hits collection, which Mike is correctly peeved about and I’ll just add that it is a goddamn travesty THAT SOMEONE NEEDS TO ANSWER FOR
- Time is a flat circle - http://imgur.com/g9Mem06
- The Handsome Family - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4zluA60hjs
- Deadpool, elephant tusks, and Zombie Teddy Roosevelt - http://imagebank.biz/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Deadpool-Wallpaper-1920x1080.jpg

4: Snikt!

Do you have a favorite sound?  Mike Rugnetta has a few:

- A Snapple bottle opening
- An orchestra tuning, with a couple instruments clearly off-key
- A breaking incandescent light bulb

In this episode, Mike explores the phenomenon of ASMR, or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response.  Or, as some call it, a “head orgasm,” brought on by certain sounds, like whispering.  There are even YouTube channels dedicated to triggering these responses.  How does this all circle back to American telephone advertising from the 1970s and U.S. telecom infrastructure?  Mike explains.

5: Whisper Quiet

Mike Rugnetta and Atlas Obscura‘s Dylan Thuras have a fascinating discussion on the use of sound in war and at what point sound becomes a weapon.  Among the topics covered:

- World War I “sound mirrors” (giant concrete parabolas that ineffectively tracked incoming planes)
- Project Disperse
- The Mosquito
- “Tunnel chicken”
- LRAD
- So-called “less than lethal” technology
- Humankind’s unintentional sound war on the animal population

6: Sound as a Weapon

Taylor Swift accidentally released eight seconds of white noise to iTunes, and it went to number one in Canada.  Mike Rugnetta offers his take on it, as well as a helpful explanation what white noise actually is.  Baseball and cooking metaphors are used.

7: Taylor Swift’s White Noise

A440 is not a steak sauce, nor is it a tax form.  Rather, A440 hz is the standard tuning for musical pitch.  Why is that?  The reasons include, but are not limited to: The oboe, church versus secular music, and the difficulty of France.  Mike Rugnetta explains.

Special Thanks to Nicole He and Proprietous for their help with oboe details.

– Die liederliche Gesellschaft von allerley Humor: Allegro – Battalia a 10, Biber


8: A440

Mike Rugnetta would like to talk with you about auditory illusions (not tricks), specifically the Shepard tone and binaural beats.  Use your headphones for this one.  (ALSO: art school college story time!)

12: The Printing Press and the Great Vowel Shift

Mike takes you on a tour of the most commonly heard sound effects.  And fair warning, when you hear them on this episode, you’ll start hearing them EVERYWHERE.  Plus, Mike tells you why sides of beef and planks of wood were integral to the making of the Rocky movies.

As of Recording, Wham’s “Last Christmas” was predicted to be the UK #1 Christmas single, but the honor officially went to Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect” (not a year end song, despite what the music video would have you believe) as of publish.

This felt like a big thesis to just sorta... throw in to the episode and move on from. It was originally around the spot where, in the final version of the episode, we listen to some spacey music (which is actually a super slowed down version of Nookie with lots of spectral blurring) and think about what it means for machines to "listen".

Felt to me like, if I was gonna include this, I should probably make the whole back end of the episode about what this means for "listening" and music and art and perception and ... *waves hands around* .... but I wanted to talk more practically about actually potential copyright futures and NOT have a 45 minute episode. So it got cut.
