Can You Hear or Feel The Music?.....

Angel · 01-31-2006, 08:27 AM

Although there are many deaf people who enjoy music, music technology - particularly speakers and keyboards - has been largely inaccessible to them until now.... Most deaf and hard of hearing people relaying the vibrations to feel the music, when some of them is able to hear the music without feeling it....

Can you hear or feel the music?....

Cheri · 01-31-2006, 08:58 AM

Both, I cannot hear the words in the songs, but I can hear the sound of music ,the beat in my heart, and the vibrations to feel the musicl. Sometimes It's hard to know if the songs really a slow dancing song or fast dancing song, I just followed the people on the dance floor.

Angel · 01-31-2006, 09:07 AM

LOL, I remember back in school days, I was dancing when the music was playing until it stops, I was the only one still dancing....

TweetyBird · 01-31-2006, 09:07 AM

Angel · 01-31-2006, 09:09 AM

@ beat and boom in the car.

Man what a great laugh!

Beat and boom sounds like roughly sex in the back seat of the car.

deafdyke · 01-31-2006, 10:58 AM

I can.....love the Indigo Girls and Broadway, but don't really like people who have low voices.

Yea I remember it happened to me too and oh boyee I felt embarrassed lol.
I was dancing with a hearing boy who I had a big crush on and when everyone stopped dancing I was still dancing until he tapped on me to let me know that the music had stopped

I can't hear the music but I can feel the vibrations only if the music is on loud. Sometimes I'd dance close to where the boom boxes were so I'd feel the vibrations much better.

Liebling:-))) · 01-31-2006, 11:18 AM

I can't hear the music but I can feel the vibrations... I love slowly romantic music... it make me feel good....

DeafMommy0407 · 01-31-2006, 11:48 AM

I can hear the music and some words but not all words. I can feel the music-vibrations. It is the best feeling. It is better than nothing. Just listening to the beat of the music and feeling the music. Ah, what a wonderful feeling.

Teresh · 01-31-2006, 12:14 PM

Depends... I can hear the music (maybe not fully understand the words, but at least hear them) always, but whether or not I can feel it is dependent on the volume and whether or not there is a subwoofer.

Reiko · 01-31-2006, 12:43 PM

I can feel it but not hear it.

Endymion · 01-31-2006, 01:08 PM

Endymion without his CI: "Music? What's that?"

Endymion with his CI: "Wow! In the recent crescendo, the way orchestra hit that sharp C was fabulous!!"

Endymion when he just woke up and is stumbling out of bed in groggy bliss: "Is that Hanson, or is the neighbor trying to drown his cat again?"

I cant hear but feel it, I like to read if there's CC, sometimes leave MTV2 channel on when I walk around see/read CC some, also sit on rocking chair to get younger daughter a nap watching there

sequoias · 01-31-2006, 04:11 PM

I can hear and feel the music.

LakeTahoe · 01-31-2006, 05:08 PM

I can hear and feel music...BUT I don't understand each word..if same song over and over I may will catch it...

IcedTeaRulz · 01-31-2006, 05:11 PM

I can hear/feel if music is real loud...but not able to understand words. Just sounds.

Miss-Delectable · 01-31-2006, 08:03 PM

Can hear beats, but not words. Mostly, feel the vibrations.

I can state this with an absolute certainty: I HATE heavy metal.

Why, shakes the floor too much? You'd hate living with me.

In one respect I have normal hearing--but I also have synesthesia, and metal makes the "inner-visual" reactions to the music REALLY intense, which is one reason I like it.

(P.S.: Yes, there IS metal out there that doesn't have ugly lyrics.

)

Angel · 01-31-2006, 10:06 PM

I don't like heavy metal either or raps....

I like soft music ....

mattmgolf · 01-31-2006, 10:26 PM

Yeah I love music any kind. I cant hear the words but instruments yes. I have numerous cds it's great. I would feel awkward when theres a radio talk on the stereo or in car stereo I hate that.

*smiles* Well, I dislike heavy metal because of their lyrics and I also dislike how it felt when it was booming.

Why, I could feel heavy metal thundering in my body hours after I got out of this noisy place one early morning. Yuck.

Rose Immortal · 02-01-2006, 08:49 AM

Well, the stuff I've got for the most part, has good lyrics. But the booming, I don't think I could do anything about.

gnarlydorkette · 02-02-2006, 12:37 AM

I have to "hear" music to inspire me for two art projects for an Advanced Drawing class...

I got enough guts to just turn in a BLANK to professor and say: "That is what music inspires me." This project is a subjective drawing where you can spontateoustly express what you feel like when you hear two different kinds of music (must be instrumental... I assume it means no words??).

Fun fun fun...

I can HEAR the music if it is LOUD enough-- enough to break the windows. I think I will draw in my car with my radio turning all WAY up and I park all way OUT in East (rural area) so nobody won't be pissed off at me for breaking their windows.

I used to turn up my radio to keep me awake with the vibrations. Not to 'listen'... my husband does. He would put on his favorite CD (tribal music) and turned on his hearing aid and "shh-shh'ed" me.

Anyway-- WHAT IS MY POINT????
ANy recommendations for instrumental music??? I know NOTHING about music.

Offtopic: Do you happen to like Tool? I'd imagine they've have some really interesting effects with synesthesia

Lateralus I like, and yeah, there are some really neat patterns that come from it.

I haven't tried the other albums because I think I might find the lyrics too distracting.

gnarlydorkette, try the all girl string quartet called BOND, they do great instrumental music, and if you get one of their older albums, called 'born' (which will probably be cheaper by now, since they have a new one out), then I can tell you there are some great songs on there that have awesome vibrations and sound good up loud to me.

There is a modern version they did of 'the 1812' with the cannon fire in it and everything which I like to play LOUD in my car!

That is a very famous piece, so your teacher would have heard of it too. HTH.

Tousi · 02-05-2006, 02:25 AM

For non-lyrical stuff, there's always the work of George Winston but the only instrument he uses is a piano and it's fascinating and divine. Ask the hearing people here....
