Review by Madison H. You know, I

0:36

thought it was a little ridiculous to get pet insurance,

0:38

but I really didn't want to not take my little

0:40

kitten to the vet because of money. In

0:42

the last eight months, I've taken him in six

0:45

times because of ear infections and saved

0:47

literally hundreds of dollars. He may even need

0:49

to get surgery and I couldn't consider it

0:51

without Lemonade's help. I recommend

0:53

Lemonade to all my friends constantly. And now

0:55

I'm recommending it to you. Check

0:59

From the whisper of the

1:32

wind to the roar of

1:34

a crowd, we live our

1:37

lives surrounded by a

1:39

symphony of sounds. But

1:41

how often do we

1:44

truly listen? Perhaps if

1:46

we pause for a

1:48

moment longer... We can

1:51

allow sound to transport

1:53

and connect our senses

1:56

to the world around

1:58

us. This is TED

2:00

Tech. a podcast from

2:02

the TED audio collective.

2:05

I'm your host, Cheryl

2:07

Dorsey. Today, we have

2:09

a special guest who

2:12

is going to take

2:14

us on an extraordinary

2:16

sonic journey. Felipe Sanchez

2:18

Luna is a creative

2:21

director who uses sound

2:23

to tell stories, convey

2:25

complex ideas, and evoke

2:27

deep emotions. Along with

2:30

his team, Felipe is

2:32

pushing the boundaries of

2:34

sound design. emerging art

2:36

and music, technology, and

2:39

science to create immersive

2:41

experiences to transform the

2:43

way we perceive the

2:46

world. Before we dive

2:48

in, a quick break

2:50

to hear from our

2:52

sponsors. It's full of

2:55

sound. It's all around

2:57

us, all the time.

2:59

If it's carefully designed,

3:01

we can use it

3:04

to tap directly into

3:06

our feelings and evoke

3:08

a deep connection to

3:11

ourselves and the world.

3:13

As a group of

3:15

composers, some designers, creative

3:17

technologies and musicologies. My

3:20

team and I combine

3:22

all this knowledge to

3:24

create sound experiences that

3:27

convey stories and ideas.

3:29

We use scientific data

3:31

as musical scores, translating

3:33

complex information into a

3:36

language we can easily

3:38

understand. We work with

3:40

field recordings, compose linear

3:42

and modern music, and

3:45

use technology to understand,

3:47

control and generate melodies

3:49

and generate melodies. We

3:53

are merging art, music,

3:55

technology and science into

3:57

the field of sound

4:00

pornography, using the auditory...

4:02

to foster an emotional

4:04

understanding of our world.

4:07

So let me take

4:09

you on a sonic

4:11

journey of music and

4:14

code, where once and

4:16

series are mixed with

4:18

notes and rhythms, and

4:21

poetry meets science. What

4:23

you are about to

4:25

hear is a combination

4:28

of recordings from nature

4:30

and our surroundings, data

4:32

in an eye-driven music,

4:35

and a lot of

4:37

human creativity. So, relax.

4:39

And if you feel

4:42

comfortable, close your eyes.

4:44

Take a deep breath

4:46

and listen closely. Allow

4:49

yourself to feel. We

4:51

begin in the water.

5:09

Here in the deep,

5:11

we hear tiny creatures,

5:14

different textures, or even

5:16

the contrast between the

5:18

Atlantic, and the Pacific

5:20

Ocean. We follow the

5:22

sounds of seals. We

5:25

follow the sons of

5:27

seals and bring the

5:29

elusive sons of seals

5:31

and bring the elusive

5:33

sons of the harbors.

5:36

to the range of

5:38

our human hearing. The

6:00

ocean is speaking to

6:03

us. Let's

6:38

move out of

6:40

the water into

6:42

dry land and

6:44

dig deep into

6:46

the earth. Countess

6:49

small animals like

6:51

earthworms, crops and

6:53

ants they interact,

6:55

they communicate and

6:57

work tirelessly to

6:59

maintain a perfect

7:01

ecosystem. Through

7:09

geophones and soil sensors,

7:11

we can capture these

7:14

voices and hear the

7:16

soil singing to us.

7:18

But is our human

7:20

creativity that can interpret

7:23

modulates, modulates, filters, and

7:25

mixes all these recordings

7:27

with music, creating a

7:29

tapestry of sound that

7:32

is a voice to

7:34

the complex world hidden

7:36

under our feet. From

7:54

here with the flight,

7:56

high into the sky.

8:06

feel the lightness of

8:08

traveling through air while

8:10

enjoying the musical messages

8:13

carried by birds songs

8:15

Let's focus our attention

8:17

under the head with

8:19

thrush as it sings

8:22

to us We did

8:24

that song is a

8:26

message to us We

8:29

did that song is

8:31

a message that if

8:33

we slow it down

8:40

Every bird finds his

8:42

voice in this intricate

8:44

orchestration. And while they

8:46

all play together in

8:48

perfect harmony, we need

8:50

to find our place

8:52

in this acoustic ecosystem.

9:11

Let's keep moving up

9:14

into the sky through

9:16

the atmosphere into the

9:19

vast emptiness of space

9:22

where there is no

9:24

sound, we reach only

9:27

to the power of

9:29

music to try to

9:32

make sense out of

9:34

the relationship between sound

9:37

and time. As the

9:40

sound of a voice,

9:42

we travel to the

9:45

center of a black

9:47

hole and wonder what

9:50

will happen to us

9:52

in the presence of

9:55

this cosmic force. We

9:58

are being stretched, as

10:00

our musical body just

10:03

falls apart. New and

10:05

all musical concepts collide

10:08

into a timeless sound

10:11

mass, leaving all sense

10:13

of structure behind. We

10:16

are surrounded by the

10:18

past, the present and

10:21

the future. All at

10:23

the same time. What

10:26

information and matter? Use

10:29

all that meaning. It

11:07

is here in this

11:09

emptiness that we find

11:11

ourselves traveling to a

11:13

human imagination, an infinitely

11:15

magical place bound only

11:17

by our creativity. We

11:36

hear artificial

11:39

intelligence making

11:43

music and

11:47

envision the

11:50

potential of

11:54

new collaborations.

11:57

emotional communication

12:01

while simultaneously

12:05

gives us

12:08

an idea

12:12

of the

12:16

creative process

12:19

being enhanced

12:23

by technology.

12:27

Let us embrace the

12:29

force of human imagination

12:32

and use sound to

12:34

connect deeper to ourselves

12:36

and to others. Let

12:38

us open ourselves through

12:40

a transformative power of

12:42

sound and its contribution

12:44

to a new emotional

12:47

understanding of our world.

12:49

Thank you. 2020-24. And

12:51

that's it for today.
