反正我也不理

心跳加速,学会了的事,那少人的街。

陌生的小巷,回头的刹那。
跳动着的树叶,滴答滴答雨水,

电脑呼呼的叫着,脚步声,盘碗声。

那潮湿的泥巴,沉重的书本。
腐烂了的肉碎,霉味很重的房间。
红青黄叶,冰冷的洋灰墙。
干燥的沙滩,甜而带酸的蛋糕。

刺痛的肌肉,高傲的态度。
智慧,以及兴趣。
感动,悲哀。

沸腾的茶,冰冷咖啡。

The Dream

It starts with a lovely wave...

Sailing through the sea....
It was cold, very cold. And I'm well aware of that.
It's so quiet but so loud at the same time.
Screaming and Vibrations slash through the quiet night, though I know it's still a still night.
Starry starry night. I feared that once I shut my eyes, the drama will continue. And yet by keeping awaken, the nightmare doesn't stop as well. Driven by despair, I decided to ran to that wonderland, once again.

The hole is deep..all I saw is void and calamity. and BAM!
It starts..

with a lovely wave...
on a ship...
with a thousand lobsters and a great buffet.
with the rich white man, and his loyal asian wife.
I dined in, feared that my identity as a foreigner is exposed.
They jumped in to the sea, which is reasonable as this is summer holiday.
Summer holiday??
well...seems like I started to blend in to this mess.

What I learnt at my job

A sound is comprised of a mixture of a lot of sound waves in different frequencies. Those we could hear are from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. So there are quite a number of frequencies in the audible range. All these frequencies are a single oscillation pattern of the particles, so each frequency is like a singularity.

Let's put it this way. Mr. 440 Hz is a hardworking man. He works everyday, never misses a single day, he regularly takes a vacation on 7th July till 10th July to Mallorca, He has a konstant pattern of life, and he's in the middle class of his society. He doesn't hurts, but it's really monotonous. A single frequency sound is what we call monotone. Have you heard a 440 Hz sinus sound wave? It's that sound that comes out at the 90s, when you switched on the TV's at the 90s, and the broadcaster has nothing to display anymore except this:

That's monotone. 

Now if Mr. 440 Hz meets Mr. 450 Hz, Miss 1000 Hz or many many other frequency, they started to form a mixture of tons. That's what we call sound. But if they all are just busy with themselves and doing stuffs their own in different phases and time interval, you have what we call noise. Cuz a noise comprised of tons in different phases moving in a random pattern. 

Now if they start moving together with each other in an orderly manner and in phase, each with their own role in each given time interval, that's when we have a harmonic sound. 

It's quite astonishing though in some sense because that's just how the nature and a society work. Everyone just taking care of themselves and we have chaos. Everyone helping each other and we start having a functioning society.

That's what I learnt at the acoustic lab.







Music

Yeah. It comes to this. I like music. Despite my horrifying lack of talent and taste in this field. But it's no crime to like something as long as I'm not doing any public performance or conversation with people in this field right?

I mean...It's not like I don't listen to music or dislike music in my past. But I guess I liked music just the way it is and how I perceive it. It's just plainly sensory and acoustically. And then one day I started to learn guitar. It was always been an on and off thingy, sometimes I learn it, and then I ignore it for another century before I start dusting out the guitar and play it again.

But since my internship started, I got my free time with still a portion of effective productivity time as well, so I go ham on learning guitar. At first it was all standard dusting procedure, like strumming randomly on some chords. Then I started with Ronan Keating's : When you say nothing at all. a friend taught me tho. it was all fun and stuffs. most of the time I'm just enjoying how the process of pressing those strings makes my finger tips painful and rough (masochist and sadist me ;) ). That feeling when you rub your rough fingertips is indescribable.

Then again, I enjoyed it too when I realized that in order to play the guitar effectively, you have to actually sing along to make the melody start making sense. It's kinda like cooking :D where you have all your fucking sauce and shits, but to make it all make sense, you need the true ingredients like meat or fish. And your singing is therefore the meat and fish while your melody from the guitar is the seasoning. No Chopin or Beethoven though. I just LOVEE things that when threw together works sweet and fine like cooking, machines and now music (I guess lol).

I love things that makes a good story. Like history, travelling, old people, old stuffs. So I guess a motivation for me to understand lyrics? hoho I dunno.

Tschuess und Gute Nacht.
