These things didn’t exist. And didn’t exist ever before that either. Do you know what that means? It meant that the only human voices you ever heard were from real people within range of your actual hearing. ‘In real time’ as the phrase goes now. And the only time you heard any music was from the very actual instrument that was being played in your presence. There was no putting in a CD, DVD, tape or record into your car (there were none) or any other device to get instant sound. There was no television, radio, or cellphone either. Right away can you hear the world go quiet? Your own voice or someone else’s that you heard with your own ears at that moment were the only voices you ever heard. Only the piano, or guitar, or violin, or symphony orchestra, or any instrument in live performance, being played at that moment would be heard by you during your life. This was the only time you ever A Quieter Time by heard any music. And how often was that? How quiet was that? Is it any wonder that people loved to get together to socialize - talk, play some music, dance? It was such a delightful, rare experience. New and plentiful voices and music in a coming together in one small area for a moment in time - this must have been greatly anticipated and relished. The house you lived in would be quiet, quiet, quiet, except for the voices of the very people living there. Of course babies would cry, kids can be rambunctious, and adults can freely talk away in a household. Plus there would be sounds from any animals around. But one can see the decibel level would be way down immediately, except in extraordinary circumstances such as a terrible storm, or a noisy steam engine, or waterfalls, or falling trees or rocks, or the pounding of hammers, etc. Everyday sounds were caused in the moment by the actual thing making the sound. A door squeaks. A floor creaks. Dinner plates clatter a bit. The sound of pouring water, the wind in the trees. These sounds were made when you heard them. Not before, not sounds from some other place, not something not there with you at the moment, such as recorded sound gives you. How about books? Almost dead quiet except for the sound of the page turning. I think therefore every sound would be quite noticeable in this world of quiet. And any unfamiliar sound would stick Kenneth Lapointe from Daytripping Sept-Oct 2009 issue out like a sore thumb and probably be investigated. The only time I’ve ever experienced such quiet was when I was in the middle of a wilderness setting in Ontario years ago. Myself and four friends were on a canoe trip, a hundred kilometres from any human habitation. There was no one else. There was no sound from any machine, any car, any road, any human whatsoever, except from our own selves. We had no recorded music, radio, or phones. I remember at one spot thinking we must be near a highway because of a loud whooshing sound. I couldn’t figure it out. What highway? There were none around. Then I realized it was only the wind blowing through the pines! One could get used to it. It would take a while though because of all the years of being accustomed to the modern barrage of sound we live with night and day, including ‘white noise,’ which is simply low-level, indistinguishable, continuous background sound. Perhaps we might wonder how anyone in these older times could have ever stood it. WAS IT ALL TOO QUIET? Perhaps we could ask however - what a different world, maybe a softer, quieter, more relaxed world, are we missing? Publisher’s note: I’m in the office by myself as I read this Kenneth, and if I eliminate the central air, the truck traffic outside, the refrigerator compressor, faint music from another computer and the sound of my own typing, I’ll be left with only the hum of 5 computers and a printer to keep me sane.
