Join us today at Stauffer B127 for the last listening session of the semester! Destress for finals and enjoy some great rainforest sounds. The Ambisonic Dome is here for you🏝️

Do you know 🌴 “natural sounds improve health, increase positive affect, and lower stress and annoyance”. But we don't have to step foot in a rainforest to reap these benefits. Join us in the Ambisonic Dome @ASU_ArtsMedia Recharge and make a better performance!! ☀️

Come and chill, being immersed in 5th order ambisonic rainforest sounds from Costa Rica, Mexico and Brazil. ecolisten.org/blog/wellness-… @ASUHIDA @ASU_ArtsMedia @phoenixzoo @ASUGlobalFuture

Check out this amazing video about how sound effects for ‘A Quiet Place’ were made! Super interesting. youtu.be/WnozP8OWeik

Just like colors, animals are capable of hearing a much wider array of pitches than humans, and it’s important to be mindful of the effects that dog whistles and other sonic devices can have on our furry friends.

I love how sounds are so much crisper in the cold. It’s like every detail is a loud, yet gentle whisper.

There’s a subfield of musicology called “gastromusicology”, which deals with the sound of food and how it enhances/affects the eating experience. This week, pay close attention to the sounds you hear during meals, and whether or not they enhance your experience.

Kids like to experience the beauty of nature too.

This week, note how often you encounter the sound of water in your daily routines. Often, architects include things like fountains and ponds in their designs for buildings and landscapes. What makes these attractions often so successful in public places?

Listen up! This week, we challenge you to listen to yourself. This means paying close attention to your bodily sounds, the way you’re breathing, your footsteps, and the way you speak. You may surprise yourself with how much sound your body creates!
