If you're not 'optically challenged' like myself, it's likely that sound is just one of those things you don't necessarily think about very often.
Consider however, the sound of the cars passing outside, the birds in the trees, the engine on your bus, car or train to work.
AS well as what your eyes tell you, there's an absolutely fascinating world to be found with the help of your ears, too.
The next time you're on a train, in the back of a cab or perhaps in a cafe drinking your beverage of choice, try closing your eyes and considering whether you can tell what's going on around you simply by the noises in your environment.
Is someone in loud shoes walking toward you and pulling out a chair at the next table?
Is the sound of the person who just got on the train one of someone who's happy, or just trying to get to work?
Sound-listening can be just as interesting as people-watching.
Are you in a band that has some sweet jams you’ve recorded? Have you been making some dope original beats or trippy EDM on your laptop and want to share it with the community? Well, now’s your chance! It’s time to send in your submissions to be included on the DEF CON 31 Soundtrack!

In any case, here's a little story I made about sound, and how I personally perceive it on a daily basis.
It's not often you hear loud thunder claps without rain or other elements. Nice to get these even if on a handheld recorder and not my proper #sounddevices kit. #sound#sounddesign#film#norfolk#uk
On Monday, I’m giving a #presentation to some #graphic design #university#students all about #sound, and how they might start to incorporate it in their #projects, so I put this little #demo together about how I make use of it as a #blind person. I have an hour to talk, so this is just what I’ll open with. the rest of the time will be live chat and Q&A.
In doing something like this with absolutely no visual aspect, I want them to start thinking about, and understanding the benefit of incorporating sound in new ways, how sound can help tell a story, and how together, visual plus audio can perhaps make something special.
I was out recording a few things and one of my cats ran up to me and wanted to talk. Say hi to Lucy. In binaural audio! Might want to wear headphones for the best effect. #Recordings#Binaural#Sound#Cats
iPhone Tip, Do you have multiple email accounts, and when you get that sound that you received a new email, you do not know from what account? You can set up a different sound for each email account, and here's how.
1, Go to settings / Mail.
2, Choose the notifications button.
3, Choose last button on the screen, customize notifications.
4, On this screen, you will find a list of the email accounts you have on your phone.
5, Double Tap on the first account name.
6, Swipe until you hear sound and the sound name. Just double tap that to bring up the list of available sounds to choose from.
7, Note. By double tapping a sound, it will play and select it as your choice. So after double tapping your choice, just hit the back button to take you back to the previous screen, and that sound will then be listed as the sound for that particular email account.
8, Just follow the same process to pick a sound for each of your email accounts. #iPhone#Tip#Email#Account#Sound
The Media History Digital Library (MHDL) is a free online resource, featuring millions of pages from the histories of #film, #broadcasting, and #recorded#sound. We provide access to industry trade papers, magazines, Hollywood pressbooks, technical journals, and more.
Lantern, the MHDL's full-text search platform, enables researchers to query specific words or phrases within scanned pages.
We hope the MHDL has had a transformative impact on the study of film & broadcasting history. The sources we have digitized for open access, and the large-scale queries that our platforms allow, have enabled ambitious research projects and the production of new knowledge.
We look forward to sharing interesting content from our collection and learning about projects that use the MHDL.
I’ve been lucky enough to do some #prototyping at my friend @Moritzsimongeist studio for this 🤩 - and here’s a little beautiful visual playfulness for Sunday evening.
