]]> Comment on my mother’s voice, my father’s eye, and my other body: the sound of deaf photographs by Bridget Hoida http://soundstudiesblog.com/2012/02/20/my-mothers-voice-my-fathers-eye-and-my-other-body-the-sound-of-deaf-photographs/#comment-3430 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 17:48:56 +0000 http://soundstudiesblog.com/?p=4748#comment-3430 This is a breathlessly honest, poetic, and dare I say brilliant rendering of the complicated love relationship between parent and child. The way C.L. joins the personal and the political, quite literally with her hands, allows for a aural understanding of the intimate linguistic and familial journey of a remarkable daughter. As a mother and daughter myself I long for a moment akin to Cardinale’s when I am recognized as kin to “my mother” by the shape, grace, and candor of “my signs.”

“I am twenty-nine and I am watching her hands, her signing, and seeing my own. Her name, signed with a sweep from a handshape “L” to a curved “C” down the shoulder to the wrist (my name, the same “C”)— “now I know your mother, you sign just like her.” -C.L. Cardinale

Growing up in a Deaf house–I swear we were the loudest on the block! I’m looking forward to a further discussion with my post this week that narrates precisely how “deafness complicates what it means to listen.”

]]> Comment on In Defense of Auto-Tune by SiscoKid http://soundstudiesblog.com/2011/09/12/in-defense-of-auto-tune/#comment-3228 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:53:13 +0000 http://soundstudiesblog.com/?p=3353#comment-3228 Auto-tune does not open new possibilities for music, instead it has a reverse effect making all artists that use it have little to no originality, since they all sound the same cause of this program. It also impacts the rest of the scene that don’t use it causing less creative ideas to be thought of because “why bother” feel that auto tune creates. In my eyes, the only good thing auto tune does, is get us to realize how lazy we are becoming, why do something original that will take some time when i can have a program make me think i sound good with little thought or effort!
