The purpose of this brief is to inform the students the restraints and expectations of the prototype speaker.For the design to be successful, it must be able to amplify the sound from a smart phone while still being able to be used while in the device. The design must consist of at least one net shape and be made of sheet metal. To achieve the best feedback, research needs to be conducted on how sound reverberates, the best shape to amplify it acoustically by at least 4 decibels and what type of sheet metal works best.The restrictions placed upon the design by the workshop staff are that the only machines to be used are the Magna-bender, Pan brake, spot welding, pot rivets, sand blasting, oxy brazing and soft soldering.The restrictions …show more content…
They claim that Aluminium has one of the fastest rates for sound traveling through the material at 6,320 meters per second (Allan, 2017). This is considerably fast compared to copper which only travels at 4,600 meters per second. The material is denser than Aluminium but still is flexible enough for it to be effective in conducting sound. When applying this knowledge Fletcher’s work on musical instruments provides insight to the into what metals are favored by musicians in amplifying their sound. (reference). The author discusses the history of music and begins to focus on the timeline of how music instruments evolved. When instruments were first created wood was used as it was the only material available that was compatible with amplifying sound. After the discovery of metals, the Author notes how humans experimented with the effects metal had on the application of instruments and found that pure metals were incompatible with their goal. This lead to experimentation and discovery of metal alloys. Two alloys that became a staple in the history of music were brass and bronze, brass, a combination of 60% copper and 40% zinc and bronze a combination of 88% copper and 12% tin. Bronze was favored for large instruments such as church bells while brass was used mainly for percussion. By using these studies, the best choice theocratically would be brass or Aluminium but one other factor still needs to be

“The Sound of a Voice” by David Henry Hwang is a one act play telling the story of two characters, Man and Woman. These characters both live alone and isolated. Woman is rumored to be a witch, and Man is a soldier without a purpose who comes in hope of killing Woman. They both have a fear of silence and love. These unusual fears result in their fatal downfall. This play explores deep emotions, such as the fear of silence that Man and Woman share which pushes Woman to commit suicide. A fear of intimacy, felt exceptionally strong by Man, results in unfortunate timing leading to Woman’s death. Loneliness displayed by both characters is the underlying cause of the outcome. These feelings play together to contribute to Man and Woman’s tragic love.
As seen in the passages, the speaker is a highly philosophical and educated person in the field of critical reading. For instance, the speaker makes many comparison such as buying a beefsteak and eating it and distinguishing whether a book owner owns woodpulp and ink or the book itself. The speaker stated that even though one may have the beefsteak in their icebox, it doesn’t truly belong to them until they consume it. Similar to the beefsteak situation, one truly owns the book if he or she writes in it, but only owns the ink and wood pulp if he or she lets the book sit on the shelf, untouched. The speaker’s temperaments are revealed to the readers through his opinions about books and critical readings. Furthermore, the the speaker’s identity is apparent in the story due to the first-person narration in the beginning and the use of the word “you” to show that he is talking directly to the readers.
Music has evolved too many different forms that we recognize today. We trace this development throughout time. Beginning in the middle ages, we have seen advancement from the Gregorian chant all the way to the Jazz of the 20th century. The current events, politics, religion, technology and composers can shape musical eras during time. Here I will look at the middle ages, renaissance, baroque, classical, romantic and twentieth century periods. I hope that a better understanding can be reached to why, when, where and who are the reasons for musical evolution.
This paper will discuss mine self-evaluation and do into detail about my first speech. My first speech takes place in front of my class and I have to tell a story of an experience that has happened to me. Telling a speech was a new experience for me and I embrace the challenge. A speech can have an impact on a person life and the audience can also relate a topic that is being presented. I will explore and go into the details of ethos, pathos and logos of my speech for my personal assessment.
I called to Ms Porter, she was concerned about the hearing process, she stated that she spoke with the Hearing Rep, Carlos Castillos and he had told her that he did not find any break in policy or rule, so he is going to request an administrative hearing.
For my out of class speaker critique assignment, I chose to go and attend the public lecture on campus by Mr. Jim Davis, the creator of the Garfield the Cat syndicated comics. The event took place in Sursa Hall inside the Music Instruction Building, and it lasted an hour and half long from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. This lecture occurred on Wednesday, February 15th. In his speech, Mr. Davis talked about his youthful years, the initial challenges he faced, the business strategies he used, and the wild adventure he endured throughout his comical Garfield business adventures.
Speaking to the manufacturers and fabricators showcased the feasibility of the project, such as social desirability of producing new music and the low ecological sound that is emitted. Furthermore, as the metal fabrication occurred, it became evident that additional cuts needed to be made to the bottom rim, shell, and head of the drum. The wooden shell would be bent using steaming, while the bottom rim would be cut the same as the top rim. Finally, the head of the drum needed to be cut as the final step because it was required to match the shape of the shell and rims when added together. Overall, this feasibility study demonstrated that the world of music is continuing to change, and curved drums will open a new door to drumming styles and music to the

Brass instruments are made of brass or some other metal and make sound when air is blown inside, creating a bold sound. Percussion instruments make sounds when they are struck, shaken, rubbed, or scratched, creating an abrupt/confident.
Aluminum metal was first isolated by Hans Christian Oersted in 1825. As late as the early 1880s, it was considered to be a semiprecious metal and was sold in troy-ounce quantities; the retail price of aluminum metal was reported to be higher than that of silver. A commercially viable largescale production method had yet to be developed. Domestic production levels during this period
In the same way that no two individuals are alike, nor are any two families with deaf or hard of hearing members. Due to the various ways that hearing loss can occur, the occurrence of hearing loss in any one family can vary. There are families with deaf parents and hearing children. There are families with deaf parents and deaf children. There are families who have never encountered a deaf or hearing impaired person that suddenly have a child who is deaf or hard of hearing. Hearing impairment affects different families in different ways. Many believe that families where both parents and the children are deaf or hard of hearing have an advantage, because the parents are already a part of the deaf culture and thus their children are born into the community. Meanwhile, hearing parents who birth a deaf or hearing impaired child have to adjust to a new way of relating to and communicating with not only their child, but also with those involved in the rearing of that child. Fortunately for these parents, organizations like the Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing exist to provide these families with resources, funds, and education to help them tread on unfamiliar territory. These kinds of organizations connect all families who have members with the disability, and no matter the family dynamic, there are resources for them to take advantage of, including legal aid. As seen in the short clip from the Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, early childhood, around the time of
The hand hammering process used in the crafting of Sabian cymbals enhances the natural tones of the Sabian B20 bronze. The blend of copper, tin and silver are tempered using a proprietary process to add strength while enriching the overtones. The artisans responsible for the hand hammering vary in technique which creates a wide range of qualities between each product. These same techniques are used in these hi-hats to achieve a ride-like wash along with the punch of a crash. Whether played with the pedal or wide open, the unique tonal characteristics add new qualities to any style of
The Aural Plus is a shock and water resistant cell phone with high quality speakers that eliminates the need for an additional Bluetooth speaker or headphones. In a culture in which the cell phone has nearly become an additional appendage, offering a product that remains one step ahead of the rest of the competition makes it much easier to establish a name for oneself. The Aural Plus does this with its enhanced features while at the same time appealing to both the youthful, fun loving crowd as well as the conservative socially responsible. With such a wide ranging demographic and potential consumer base, the Aural Plus has significant potential to become a major competitor in the cell phone market.
