I only want you type the words that you might have written that relate to the sense of SOUND
that is, what you heard when you looked at the pictures
if none of your words related to sound for any of the images, please go back and see if the word prompts any other thoughts now I've primed you. . .
if your answer is "no sound" please write this next to the image number!
thanks
nope no sounds all emotions!
okay, here's what went on. I looked at all the pictures, one by one as you suggested. I said some words as I looked at each one. Things like Baby crying, a Stradivarius, somneone playing the Stradivarius, bubbles etc etc. I didn't hear any sound on any of them. Makes me think I was using only the sense of sight.
If it had been suggested in the beginning to pay attention to the sound you would hear while looking, then the outcome would be different I'm sure.
Peace.
good work guys!!!
keep it up - now you have to go back and, knowing that I want "sound words" listen to you head and see what the noises are (if it's voices, I'll send the meds round)
Without knowing you wanted sounds, almost everything I wrote down first time was a sound. Have gone back though to fill in the gaps:
Silence
Howl
Screech
Silence (I like silence - I don't need music playing all the time, so silence isn't a negative sound for me)
Silence
Howl
Peace
Air recycling noise in spacesuit
Screech
Birdsong/water noise
Screech
Well shoot. Some were sounds from the get go--some were not.
Sometimes my brain skittled three thoughts deep and I was reciting nursery rhymes or songs started.
Dunno what that means....LOL But I do know I have an active brain, thanks to the two pots of coffee.
Rustling grass
That silent/no noise wailing
Charlie Daniels music. LOL SORRY!
Right into 'Shine on Harvest Moon'.
And into "So you had a bad day".(beats me--maybe I need more coffee?)
Definite wolf howl.
Tiny breaths that belong to the bug.
Whirrrrr of the bubble gun.
'Seasons' music
Babbling brook noises
Scales--straight into Julie Andrews' Do, re, mi.
Maybe I need more coffee...LOL
But I can't say which was my first thought cuz they're zipping along this morning.
This is terribly hard. I wrote down reactions as bidden and very few could be translated into sound, but I'll have a go:
1. Gentle snoring
2. Crying as when teething
3. (V. difficult - the mute's on) Violin con sordino
4. Crackling and roaring as of forest fire (I KNOW it's only the moon, but you did ask...)
5. Silence
6. Howling
7. The slight scrape and snap of cutting baby fingernails
8. Swishing and sloshing of washing up
9. 5th position (I think) - my tinnitus
10. Babbling brook
11. Discord
12. Phew.
I tried this earlier and blogger wouldn't take it grrrr
anyway after much thought:
1. a v high pitched clear sort of tone
2. a bawl
3. nothing I'm afraid game to mind so maybe it was silence
4. ditto
5. ditto (sorry!)
6. Howl
7. snuffle
8. pop
9. Vivaldi
10 babbling
11 screech
thank you! I'll explain shortly
