As you may already know I'm all about audio and music. I love to work with audio and explore its aspects. Every month I'll recap my best articles on Steemit about how sound affects our life in art, science, technology, education, films and even humour.

Documentary films

  Cymatics is the method we use to observe the shape of sound frequencies. Fine particles or liquids are applied on a vibrating membrane such as plate or a sound speaker. 

Art & Music

• 637 GB Of Jazz For Free
  David W. Niven was a high school teacher from New Jersey. But his legacy will be the 650 cassette tapes of early jazz that he recorded throughout his lifetime. The set spans more than 1000 hours and gives a fantastic insight into the development of jazz through the years 1921-1991.

Science & Technology

• Trick Your Brain With This Easy Exercise - The McGurk Еffect
  When new information enters our brain, he has to assemble and make sense of the input information. Some senses override others, such as visual stimulation over auditory. It's called The McGurk Effect and it tricks our mind to change what we hear based on visual information.
