I’ve noticed that lately, I haven’t been listening to music as much as I usually do. I think it’s been my attempt to try and tune into my environment whereas normally I would be tuning out. One thing that remains constant is that my alarm clock is set to the radio. I’ve tuned it to Hot 97 primarily because I don’t listen to that station. I find Hot 97 a little annoying, so it prompts me to get up and at the very least, hit snooze. I tried tuning it to some talk radio before, but found that I would sleep right through it. The volume on the radio is loud enough to be audible, but low enough to not be so jarring to wake to. Other than that, I’ve only been listening to music while commuting.<\/p>\n

Whenever I’m home, there’s always a car driving past my building that is blasting music loudly. The other night, I came home to hear my roommate singing along in his room to some folk artist that I didn’t recognize. Within a half hour, he emerged dressed to go out. I’m assuming that was his “getting-ready-to-go-out” music.<\/p>\n

I was watching a video made for a particular entry into the Guggenheim Design It Shelter Competition which had music for all 2:20 minutes of the video. It was simple, but pretty cheesy. It basically sounded like a prerecorded track on a synth from the early 1990s. And even though the design was interesting, the music that accompanied it was boring and seemed to do nothing to enhance the visual.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
