Script (Rough Cut) - Sound Memoir

*Start with car ride*
Ah the kids… It’s quieter than usual. Probably because a lot of them couldn’t make it tonight. I hope that all of them are doing well. The usual cacophony seems to be absent from the usually chaotic car. At least the ride will be somewhat quiet this time and I won’t end up with a splitting headache. I hope everyone is doing okay…
*Praise songs*
I always found comfort in the praise part of service. A bunch of voices all singing praises with one sole focus. It’s odd that this sense of conformity doesn’t bother me. I always seem to feel another presence in the room that compels me to listen closely. A pull that breaks barriers between disbelief and salvation.
*Moments after service*
Ah… Lessons are over… It’s time to relax and catch up with everyone and their lives. I hope everyone’s week went well and that we were all able to be productive.
*Fellowship*
I never really understood this part… We always go out to the same four places and I always feel like we are being more of a nuisance than doing anything productive. I guess if other people don’t mind then I won’t either. But I feel like we could be doing something more.

What would you do? How would you capture the sound? How would the sound contribute to the cause or issue you selected? One universal sound that I think pepole can think of is medication commercials. After every one of these commercials, there is a slew of information and disclaimers about defects that can occur when taking this medication. This brings senses of discomfort to me and unkowningness. Reminds me specifically of just sitting in my r

Ryan Um Due Date: 03-14-2018 Professor Brooks English 320 SSR #3: The Sound of Mood-sic Summary: One thing that Cheng emphasises in his recollection of blowing up the fictional town of Megaton is the music that he was listening to when he pressed the button to blow up the town. The Sousa march he was listening to had compelled him to press the button that was in front of him (47). And music, in this sense, does affect our mood and how we do certain actions. It’s astounding to look at the many different ways that music can affect us and the actions that we take to comply with the tone of the song. Synthesis: The utilization of music seems to be evolving every day. It can be used to adjust mood, provide comfort, and even make political statements. One use that people do not really think of is the utilization of music as a weapon. In the Auditory Culture Reader , Suzanne Cusick goes into detail on how this has been done. It seems like music was utilized in a manner th
