I went to see Alison Krauss and Union Station at Disney Hall and I would say it was one of the most astonishing sonic experiences I have had. It's an enormous room that's acoustically perfect. My interpretation of receiving music as a layman is that the way the music kind of settled on me in that room was perfection.

There have never been a lot of female guitarists out there, so most of my influences were male. Acoustically, I followed Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon. Also, John Lennon and Paul McCartney - both incredible acoustic guitar players.

American Musician

John Waite

When you're up there acoustically you're thinking, How could I possibly go back to rock?' Then when I'm playing rock I think, How can I ever go back to being unplugged?' That's what makes it fun all of the time.

English Musician

Roman Jakobson

Instead of following one another the sounds overlap; a sound which is acoustically perceived as coming after another one can be articulated simultaneously with the latter or even in part before it.

Russian Scientist

Lee Ranaldo

I've always played acoustically - it's how I learned. I grew up listening to Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Dylan and what have you.

Sonic Youth could never really get it together acoustically - quite frankly, it wasn't something we were really that interested in.

Joe Bonamassa

Doing the acoustic at Carnegie is basically advised because electric music tends to get, let's just say, acoustically unsound.

Chris Cornell

There are a handful of Soundgarden songs that work acoustically, but only a couple. It's not who we were.

Maddie Marlow

We're acoustically driven, and there's no doubt we're country.

Describes environments optimized for better sound quality during performances or recordings.

Sounds Enhanced

Used in professional or technical contexts, like audio engineering or architecture.

Technical Settings

References how surroundings can alter sound, like an echo in a large hall.

Audible Atmosphere

Refers to music played with non-electric instruments, highlighting the pure tones.

Natural Sound

Often indicates a more personal, raw musical experience between artists and listeners.

Intimate Performances

Describes using sound to find or monitor the position of something, especially underwater.

Location Technique

Expands use beyond music, to fields like marine biology or military technology.

Not Just Music

 They seem to be different things to us. Interestingly, you see something quite similar with chimpanzees. Chimpanzees laugh differently if they're being tickled than if they're playing with each other, and we might be seeing something like that here, involuntary laughter, tickling laughter, being different from social laughter. They're acoustically very different.

 so you could send it optically; you can communicate acoustically through a power line, through RF. It takes the original principle of the Internet, which is inter-networking computers, and now lets devices inter-network.

 Anechoic chambers are rooms that are acoustically treated to minimize sound to almost zero. There are no sounds in these rooms, so John Cage didn't expect to hear anything at all. But he actually heard his own blood circulating.
