1 00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:03,400 Now we come to the most practical, 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,740 and most important part of the lecture. 3 00:00:05,740 --> 00:00:11,500 Santi has developed a system to discover 4 00:00:11,500 --> 00:00:17,000 the resonances of the voice and not only to hear but also feel them. 5 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,560 Can we feel sound? 6 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000 If you put your closed fist near your mouth and say “ahhh”, 7 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,200 you can perhaps feel when the sound hits your fist. 8 00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:43,900 Some people are more capable to do this than others. 9 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:51,650 But the problem is that in this tract the energy is dissipated. 10 00:00:52,710 --> 00:00:56,460 For this reason, now we can close the sound in a small chamber 11 00:00:56,460 --> 00:00:58,690 created by cupping our hands together 12 00:00:58,690 --> 00:01:01,800 and leaving a small hole to permit the sound to go in. 13 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:09,480 Now we emit a loud vowel sound without touching the hands from a certain distance. 14 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,180 What happened? 15 00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:17,630 We can all now feel this because the sound can no longer escape, 16 00:01:17,630 --> 00:01:19,160 the sound is already there. 17 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,100 Now, the sound is felt and not only heard 18 00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:26,280 Let's try this resonance chamber 19 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:32,000 which has been made to test resonance here. 20 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,800 Two or three people can come up with Santi, 21 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,330 and then will sing something 22 00:01:40,330 --> 00:01:45,350 to see if the sound and his resonances can be felt better 23 00:01:45,350 --> 00:01:49,080 One of those people can be Fran 24 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,510 The only problem of the experiment is that we must be very close together 25 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,930 I would like Fran to do the experiment 26 00:02:34,930 --> 00:02:38,570 because we are devising a box 27 00:02:38,570 --> 00:02:44,390 and I would like Fran to participate in this: imagine being able to enter a site where you can hear your great resonances. 28 00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:47,150 All of us say "I want that!" 29 00:02:47,150 --> 00:02:52,850 But we haven't yet found the ideal camera 30 00:02:52,850 --> 00:02:56,310 despite many years of research. 31 00:04:56,100 --> 00:05:00,800 What did you feel? 32 00:05:06,450 --> 00:05:19,120 Apart from the heat, you feel your whole body vibrate, 33 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:29,880 your head (and not just the ears) 34 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:38,600 the whole body even your belly. 35 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,320 And where in the head? 36 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:48,450 All around but especially the top, I noticed that the vibration went up to my ears. 37 00:05:48,450 --> 00:05:53,580 The vibration entered her own resonance chamber. 38 00:05:59,580 --> 00:06:09,200 The other day my English teacher and I were talking about vibration and he said: 39 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,020 “I was playing the clarinet and my guitar was a meter away, 40 00:06:13,020 --> 00:06:18,800 suddenly I realized that when I played a specific note 41 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,900 the guitar sounded. 42 00:06:20,900 --> 00:06:23,400 I repeated this a number of times. 43 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,860 I had a blast!” 44 00:06:26,860 --> 00:06:32,930 Perhaps this had happened many times without realizing it. 45 00:06:32,930 --> 00:06:34,780 If we knew many things about this 46 00:06:34,780 --> 00:06:38,860 it would be like a waterfall, an endless chain. 47 00:06:38,860 --> 00:06:41,470 Fran tell us what you noticed. 48 00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:50,370 Apart from being an engineer I am an amateur singer. 49 00:06:53,700 --> 00:06:57,040 The thing I sensed was an enormous resonance 50 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,970 in the same area where I feel the resonance when I produce a good voice. 51 00:07:01,970 --> 00:07:13,610 It is as if he passed his resonance to my resonators. 52 00:07:13,620 --> 00:07:18,080 I notice it especially in the tubes leading to the ears, 53 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,390 as if the resonance entered through the nose, 54 00:07:22,390 --> 00:07:30,060 through the open parts of the face and in through the ears. 55 00:07:30,060 --> 00:07:33,400 With this proximity and this concentration of energy 56 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,300 it reaches a point that was uncomfortable. 57 00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:46,170 But it was curious to feel that the sensation was from the inside to outside 58 00:07:46,170 --> 00:07:51,800 not like a disco club where the energy pushes you from outside 59 00:07:55,110 --> 00:07:58,520 Shall we do another experiment? 60 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,440 Taking advantage of Fran’s presence, 61 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,410 we can check the resonance chamber and study its value. 62 00:08:07,410 --> 00:08:10,180 Fran, sing us anything you know very well, only a small piece of the song, 63 00:08:10,180 --> 00:08:14,180 into the resonance chamber two times 64 00:08:14,180 --> 00:08:21,110 and after you should sing the same piece of song outside the resonance chamber. 65 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,940 The experiment consists in observing if the voice will change 66 00:08:40,940 --> 00:08:48,430 after singing inside the resonance chamber acquiring more harmonic components. 67 00:08:48,430 --> 00:08:52,000 And in any experiment we need to compare before and after the experiment, so now you sing. 68 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:23,020 Okay, do the same in the chamber twice 69 00:09:23,020 --> 00:09:25,560 The first is to see how it works 70 00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:30,910 and the second is where you study the sensations 71 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,580 Do not say anything, go back and do it again. 72 00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:18,370 He is an intellectual, he is all head,he is full of brain connection... 73 00:10:18,370 --> 00:10:20,180 He is very clever… The important thing is that you develop it. 74 00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:47,340 Fantastic. Then without losing it, he will sing the same again. 75 00:10:58,500 --> 00:11:01,690 I went out of key and I got confused. 76 00:11:01,690 --> 00:11:04,220 It doesn’t matter, do it again. 77 00:11:04,230 --> 00:11:06,100 Great, he had many more harmonics! 78 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,910There you can see what you do, well or wrong, multiplied by 100 000. 79 00:11:17,910 --> 00:11:21,560 Then when you go out you know how to do it. 80 00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:23,730 Has the spoken voice changed? 81 00:11:23,730 --> 00:11:25,300 Yesss! 82 00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:26,990 It has gone up inside his head. 83 00:11:26,990 --> 00:11:29,290 Have you seen what a resonance chamber is for? 84 00:11:29,290 --> 00:11:32,300 Try to sing again. 85 00:11:52,850 --> 00:11:54,670 Very good, very good. 86 00:11:54,670 --> 00:11:55,830 The first time was when there were most changes. 87 00:12:00,270 --> 00:12:02,310 88 00:12:02,310 --> 00:12:07,370 The first time is always the most important because it is precisely the experiment. 89 00:12:07,370 --> 00:12:13,010 Well, having such an instrument as this, can it help us? 90 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,140 When I place my head inside my sensations multiply a great deal 91 00:12:16,140 --> 00:12:19,480 and I can discover 92 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,570 if I am doing it well or not 93 00:12:21,570 --> 00:12:25,320 and then I can listen to others or to myself better. 94 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,790 How do we get resonances? 95 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,020 For example, with a bucket on his head. 96 00:12:35,020 --> 00:12:36,370 People that know us 97 00:12:36,380 --> 00:12:40,600 know that we have been using buckets on their heads for a long time 98 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,830 in order to find out the resonance of their voice, 99 00:12:43,830 --> 00:12:52,610 and to discover the richness of its sound. 100 00:12:53,700 --> 00:13:02,900 Sometimes, we use a water ball where you can feel the sound differently, 101 00:13:02,900 --> 00:13:04,900 and normally much better. 102 00:13:06,250 --> 00:13:16,460 No one can sing well, to communicate 103 00:13:16,460 --> 00:13:20,470 if it isn't done in a sweet way 104 00:13:20,470 --> 00:13:23,950 Sweetness is a word that it can be understood 105 00:13:23,950 --> 00:13:25,870 in different ways by every different person. 106 00:13:25,870 --> 00:13:30,340 For example, the idea of sweet for a heavy metal fan will be different from a jazz fan. 107 00:13:30,340 --> 00:13:33,700 Sweetness is something singular 108 00:13:33,700 --> 00:13:38,660 Now, I'll make you feel something sweet 109 00:13:38,660 --> 00:13:42,200 Will it be a man or a woman? 110 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,640 A woman, answers the auditorium. 111 00:16:27,300 --> 00:16:28,960 Is it sweet or not ? 112 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:39,460 Is sweetness related to our body? 113 00:16:39,460 --> 00:16:42,010 If somebody is sweet they are sweet. 114 00:16:42,010 --> 00:16:44,700 Why in this case is he so sweet? 115 00:16:44,700 --> 00:16:46,300 Because he is a whale 116 00:16:48,700 --> 00:16:54,280 A whale only needs to use a little energy to do something. 117 00:16:54,290 --> 00:17:07,000 The opposite of sweetness is stiffness, tension, for example, when one needs to move something heavy and has to make a tremendous effort. 118 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,150 Sweetness is smoothness. 119 00:17:09,150 --> 00:17:16,100 To be sweeter is fundamental to sing 120 00:17:16,100 --> 00:17:21,440 moving smoothly without causing aggression, 121 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:22,980 moving gently.
