5 thoughts on “Sonic Dominance Amongst Religious Sounds

    I liked how you connected the concept of sonic dominance to your topic. Your use of the definition of sonic dominance at the end of your trailer provided a good closing statement. While listening to the music in the attached video, I could definitely feel that sense of sonic dominance arising from the drone of the collective voices and organs. You both spoke clearly and fluently.

    I really like the fact that the research question that you are trying to answer is deeply connected with Sonic Dominance, a topic that we have discussed in class. The fact that your topic is on the music of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan rather than Kuali shows how deeply connected and influential he has been on this particular style of music, which I think you demonstrated well in your podcast. I think the spiritual connection felt by listeners is a really interesting topic to study further.

    I thought this podcast trailer was well articulated and organized which made it easy to understand. Prior to this I did not know anything about kabli music but now that I know that is consists of drums and hand clapping, I’m intrigued to hear what it sounds like. I think you guys took on an interesting perspective with your thesis and are pursuing sonic dominance and religious experiences and how Nasrat Fateh Ali Khan has influenced this.

    I like how you guys related Nasrat Fateh Ali Khan and this type of music to sonic dominance, as you can see in the video the type of effect he has on his listeners. I’m excited to listen to your full podcast and learn more about him and his type of music!

    This is a really cool sound “object”. I have never heard of Nasrat Fateh Ali Khan before. It was interesting to get some background on who he is and what he represents with his music. I am very interested to listen to the rest of your podcast. I think the connection to sound dominance and embodiment of religion is very interesting, and I am excited to see more examples and an in-depth analysis of how he does this. Also I love how you say he combines “poetry and religion”. I think this is often true of many religions incorporating poetry. I am interested to see how he differs from others’ sound dominance and how.
