“Sound has a profound effect on the senses. It can be both herd and
felt. It can even be seen with the mind’s eye. It can almost be tasted
and smelled. Sound can evoke responses of the five senses. Sound can
paint a picture, produce a mood, trigger the senses to remember another
time and place. From infancy we hear sound with our entire bodies. When I
hear my own name, I have as much a sense of it entering my body through
my back or my hand or my chest as through my ears. Sound speaks to the
sensorium; the entire system of nerves that stimulates sensual
response.”
