Am Harp Hearing People Producing Sounds Used

Joanna Newsom
American - Musician
Born: January 18, 1982

Technology has altered the way music sounds, how it’s composed and how we experience it. It has also flooded the world with music. The world is awash with (mostly) recorded sounds. We used to have to pay for music or make it ourselves; playing, hearing and experiencing it was exceptional, a rare and special experience. Now hearing it is ubiquitous, and silence is the rarity that we pay for and savor.

David Byrne

It's totally different. I usually don't tell people about the Pleased if they know me from the harp. And if they are there to see the Pleased, I usually don't tell them about the harp. I am nervous that these people will expect something similar.

Joanna Newsom

We are no longer the same after hearing certain sounds, and this is more the case when we hear organized sounds, sounds organized by another human being: music.

Karlheinz Stockhausen

I am barren of words. For no sounds from my mouth are worthy of your hearing

J.R. Ward

I get that that the violent illegal immigrants will be removed from the country. But what I am not hearing and I am wondering, for people out there - and, look, it’s not just the liberal media, right? It’s also conservatives. It’s Rush Limbaugh. It’s Governor Sarah Palin. It’s other people who want Donald Trump to win who are saying, wow, it sounds like he is really backing away from this deportation force…

Jake Tapper

My hearing is out of the ordinary as others might see it, but not for me. I'm used to my hearing in the same way that I'm used to the size of my hands.

Evelyn Glennie

It sounds loud, but what you're hearing is the turbo pumps driving at max performance. Once you're going past the speed of sound it's really what is on the vehicle that you're hearing.

Jared Isaacman

Hearing the faraway sounds of children at recess makes me understand that I am no longer life's main character.

Alec Sulkin

The harp sounds at each passing breeze, but that does not mean the tune is masterfully played.

Jacqueline Carey

I am a little deaf now. Without my hearing aids in, I miss a lot of peripheral sounds. I had tinnitus, too, for a while.

Roger Taylor

Whatever sounds best to the ear, to the whole team of people who are producing the song, is what works eventually.

Jubin Nautiyal

First, I try to take everything away that doesn't matter to singing. It sounds simplistic, but it works. There is absolute focus on singing: producing sounds and emotions that I have always enjoyed. This is key.

Johnny Mathis

People become house builders through building houses, harp players through playing the harp. We grow to be just by doing things which are just.

Aristotle

I can't play my songs on the smaller harp. I have a Celtic harp. I can't do the key changes.

Joanna Newsom

There are certain sounds that have a loaded past. Like the sound of a harp, if you go back to old movies, represents a dream sequence; it transports you there.

Washed Out

My voice in combination with the harp - which, by the way, I use because I've played it my entire life, not to make some statement about the harp - somehow has ... coloured people's interpretations of the music and projected an idea of childlike or fairytale quality or innocence. Which sometimes prevents people from listening to the songs the way I would like them to be listened to.
