Harbal, to amplify your interest in just sound, should this be of interest …

Summary
Human fetuses are able to memorize auditory stimuli from the external world by the last trimester of pregnancy, with a particular sensitivity to melody contour in both music and language [1–3] . Newborns prefer their mother's voice over other voices [4–8] and perceive the emotional content of messages conveyed via intonation contours in maternal speech (“motherese”) [9] . Their perceptual preference for the surrounding language [10–12] and their ability to distinguish between prosodically different languages [13–15] and pitch changes [16] are based on prosodic information, primarily melody. Adult-like processing of pitch intervals allows newborns to appreciate musical melodies and emotional and linguistic prosody [17] . Although prenatal exposure to native-language prosody influences newborns' perception, the surrounding language affects sound production apparently much later [18] . Here, we analyzed the crying patterns of 30 French and 30 German newborns with respect to their melody and intensity contours. The French group preferentially produced cries with a rising melody contour, whereas the German group preferentially produced falling contours. The data show an influence of the surrounding speech prosody on newborns' cry melody, possibly via vocal learning based on biological predispositions.

So, I trust that since you are an intelligent human being, that you do see the implications of this.

(cue the Spheres): The implications extend to the spheres, even further.

Singing to the known God.
Can’t escape it.
Natural law.

I remember children who discovered Nirvana, and so I discovered with them. Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden, others, I heard them discover things in that way, and I saw them grow into wonderful people.

And once I had one the rarest privileges one can experience, and that is to play a good recording of Stairway To Heaven to an intelligent mind who never heard it before, and then to see that mind grow and become a wonderful musical adult in every action.

Life is the only use for Philosophy
Don't forget it, fishy. (exaggerated pause to sniff)

Wait, let me find an oldie but goodie ...

It’s nice that they write out the lyrics for you. (If only they could get them right!)

All you need to do is turn yourself into a million monkeys with infinite time!

No point made son, as it was you that started the screwing, you that threw the first hairy ice-cube! Don't cry to me because I'm jaded, sick of such infantile shit! You don't have a clue as to what pain really is!

My nym has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with me, rather a neat little idea I came up with while studying philosophy, physics, chemistry, and psychology, at university. You again have been foolish in your 'assumption,' that my nym was a comment on my state of affairs, or anyones for that matter. Instead of my intention to comment on the 'ideal' state of affairs, that we all must aspire to achieve. Perspective is everything my friend, and only fools jump to conclusions, presume to know, instead of simply asking! Note my avatar that goes hand in hand with at least a portion of that, which I wish to convey:

The spheres of balance that must exist, in the macro (celestial bodies), the micro (atomic particles), and in between (human hemispheres), for all life, the universal crowning achievement thus far, to exist. Especially in harmony, the truest state of our symbiotic biosphere. That's the essence of my nym/avatar, not a comment on the state of affairs of any particular set of human hemispheres, quite the contrary, I find 'all' us humans severely lacking in terms of balance, ALL OF US!!!
Well since you brought it up, which indicates your direction of attention,
Condescension, your armor, your weapon!! (Protection-fear racket?) ;)

you do exhibit a superficial understanding replete with limited assumptions,
Says the boy that can see something in others yet is blind to what's behind the eyes of the man in the mirror.

not to mention a punk-ass defensive attitude that blinds you somewhat in your protection-fear racket.
Yet it was you that started the flame throwing; what you see within yourself, yet in denial, that you then project upon others?

But don’t mind me.
As if I'd ever listen to such confusion!

Do what you like.
I always shall, thanks for your, 'Omni, Omni, VOR,' though!

Don’t worry, I’ll be gone soon enough.
Actually I welcome you being here, I don't run from challenges!

People claim to like music. So what’s the secret? Let’s hear some tunes. Relax. Maybe some philosophy will appear somewhere.
Good words, to live by and not merely recite.


Note:
human voices that sound like birds,
sounds that instruments imitate.

Truly beautiful!

Why thank ye.

Evidence that the big brains at corporate U are far more advanced in perfecting munchkin training abounds in today’s safe world of remix. Sad that young people today don’t have the discoveries of living through a creative cultural renaissance.

Today it’s eyes angled downward into the devices and into the irony and all that goes with that, while Big Sky shines unnoticed.

GREAT CHOICE, BUT I SEE THEIR BEST IS HERE.

Since you raised the question, here's from me to you!

Happy Holidays despite our mutual venom!

Sorry Saly. No can do. You go on ahead. Hallmark says we’re going to skip the links. I’ll take another car.

So I wounded you severely! So be it, go and cry in your soup! I thought we could actually pretend we're grown men, and mend our differences. Whatever!

My best to you and yours just the same! ;)

Sorry I hit you below the belt, but I really did believe you had both a jock strap and a cup on. Maybe it was panties instead! :shock:

Yeah, I’ll pass it along. It's outta my hands. Hallmark knows it was only business. Can’t let you off the hook, Saly, not even for old times sake.
