Listen to ‘Dream.’ It’s just me all the way. It’s like raw. It’s gutter. It’s real. It’s authentic. It ain’t like nobody else. Don’t sound like nobody else, no nothing.
The sound of laughter is like the vaulted dome of a temple of happiness.
Brass has a very distinctive sound. It’s delicate but powerful, but it’s also melancholic and plaintive.
Doug Stanhope is great – I saw his ‘Burning the Bridge to Nowhere’ show and it was inspiring. He’s like an anti-shaman, taking the sting out of a bunch of things we’ve chosen to give a symbolic power to. I’ve made it sound noble and worthy there, it’s not, it’s really funny.
I’m too vain to go on TV. I’d be a monster of self-consciousness. Plus, I’ve got a ridiculous voice – I sound like a camp friend of Bertie Wooster’s.
Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree.
Close friends contribute to our personal growth. They also contribute to our personal pleasure, making the music sound sweeter, the wine taste richer, the laughter ring louder because they are there.
I want to take some jams and really concentrate on hooking up with Page because, since he’s the only one not next to me, and his sound is mainly coming from my monitor rather than through the air, it’s a little harder for me to hook up with him.
I think the most beautiful sound is a child laughing.
The one thing you don’t want is that stale sound when you’ve done a line so much you can’t find a fresh approach to it. Drop it.
Every now and then, when you’re on stage, you hear the best sound a player can hear. It’s a sound you can’t get in movies or in television. It is the sound of a wonderful, deep silence that means you’ve hit them where they live.
I have a lot of respect for people who are great at ad-libbing and for writers and directors who are able to create a scene in which that works. Judd Apatow is fantastic at it. But as an audience member, I like the sound of something that’s been written – I like it to sound written.

Independent media can go to where the silence is and break the sound barrier, doing what the corporate networks refuse to do.

In virtual reality, we’re placing the viewer inside a moment or a story… made possible by sound and visual technology that’s actually tricking the brain into believing it’s somewhere else.
If you’re a waiter, the worst thing you can do is go to work resenting your job. This will sound trite – but it’s the reality, and part of my personality – yet when I was a waiter, I tried to be the best waiter, and when I was a bingo-caller I tried to be the best bingo-caller.
Without wishing to sound arrogant, when I was younger, I used to win every single martial arts tournament I ever entered. I used to enter the under 14s and under 16s, win both gold medals in those, and then go in the men’s tournament just for experience, and end up getting a silver medal.
This may sound strange but I had dreams as a kid of doing exactly what I ended up doing in my life.

Tones sound, and roar and storm about me until I have set them down in notes.

Americans always ask how much I love my accent, and I don’t get that – I think I sound like a school teacher.
If I sound like I’m enjoying myself, it’s not artificial. It’s real.
I find it quite hard to sum up my relationship in a sound bite. I feel that it trivializes it for other people’s pleasure. It’s an adventure.

We should like to have some towering geniuses, to reveal us to ourselves in colour and fire, but of course they would have to fit into the pattern of our society and be able to take orders from sound administrative types.

The most obvious thing you can’t do with a guitar synthesizer is to really sound like a guitar.
Writing poetry makes you intensely conscious of how words sound, both aloud and inside the head of the reader. You learn the weight of words and how they sound to the ear.

Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.
If you make it sound too much like a synth, it will just sound like a guitar part played on a synth.
Rhythm is sound in motion. It is related to the pulse, the heartbeat, the way we breathe. It rises and falls. It takes us into ourselves; it takes us out of ourselves.

It doesn’t take a majority to make a rebellion; it takes only a few determined leaders and a sound cause.
Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree.
A system of capitalism presumes sound money, not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings, not credit creation by a central bank.
If the only way a library can offer an Internet exhibit about the New Deal is to hire a lawyer to clear the rights to every image and sound, then the copyright system is burdening creativity in a way that has never been seen before because there are no formalities.
It might sound strange now from where I’m standing as a world boxing champion, but I harboured serious thoughts, at the age of nine, of putting my whole life into snooker. I remember being fascinated by the game, watching the likes of Steve Davis, and thought I would do it.
You’re only as good as your weakest link in the ecosystem of sound, of audio.
You can’t imitate; all our faces are constructed differently… and the vocal cords; otherwise, we’d all sound alike. I don’t think anybody should ever teach by imitating.
Sometimes we should express our gratitude for the small and simple things like the scent of the rain, the taste of your favorite food, or the sound of a loved one’s voice.
Playing video games, as funny as it might sound, it’s a very important part of our day. Our schedule is so hectic, chaotic, demanding that we need an outlet. We need ways to express ourselves and let our energy out.
My voice was left with its husky sound after surgery on large vocal nodules.
You get a heck of a sound from the church. Can’t you hear it in my voice?
People don’t appreciate music any more. They don’t adore it. They don’t buy vinyl and just love it. They love their laptops like their best friend, but they don’t love a record for its sound quality and its artwork.
A general loathing of a gang or sect usually has some sound basis in instinct.
Yeah, moving to Los Angeles definitely influenced my sound.
Don’t play too loud! Bleed-through on stage can be brutal to front-of-house sound.
I think the hardest accent for me to do is what I end up trying a lot of times, and it’s like some sort of a general American sound. So not Southern and not east-coast or west-coast, but just a general American sound that no one really speaks, actually.
The man with a toothache thinks everyone happy whose teeth are sound. The poverty-stricken man makes the same mistake about the rich man.
American dog say, ‘Woof, woof.’ Korean dog say, ‘Mung, mung.’ Polish dog say, ‘How, how.’ So which dog barking is correct? That is human beings’ barking, not ‘dog’ barking. If dog and you become one hundred percent one, then you know sound of barking. This is Zen teaching. Boom! Become one.
