WORD NOTE warm In music, warm refers to sound rich in mid-range tones, or pleasantly distorted. In spoken language, open vowels are synesthetically cooling and thinner vowels warming, for both speaker and auditor. I have a theory: Music from hot climates sounds cooling—'ooo' sounds, often metallic, like steel drums, marimba, thumb piano, pedal steel guitar—and music from cold climates warms you up with hotter 'zzz' timbres, often from wooden instruments, like distorted electric guitar, hurdy-gurdy, and bowed strings. The 'zzz' sounds are made by continuous friction, which heats the instrument and requires more exertion form the performer (producing heat). Even analog circuits heat up and produce correspondingly warm sounds valued by musicians and listeners. — SMConversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage. |
