Winner of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections' (ARSC) Award for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research (2006) Echo and Reverb is the first history of acoustically imagined space in popular music recording. The book documents how acoustic effects--reverberation, room ambience, and echo--have been used in recordings since the 1920s to create virtual sonic architectures and landscapes. Author Peter Doyle traces the development of these acoustically-created worlds from the ancient Greek myth of Echo and Narcissus to the dramatic acoustic architectures of the medieval cathedral, the grand concert halls of the 19th century, and those created by the humble parlor phonograph of the early 20th century, and finally, the revolutionary age of rock 'n' roll. Citing recordings ranging from Gene Austin's 'My Blue Heaven' to Elvis Presley's 'Mystery Train, ' Doyle illustrates how non-musical sound constructs, with all their rich and contradictory baggage, became a central feature of recorded music. The book traces various imagined worlds created with synthetic echo and reverb--the heroic landscapes of the cowboy west, the twilight shores of south sea islands, the uncanny alleys of dark cityscapes, the weird mindspaces of horror movies, the private and collective spaces of teen experience, and the funky juke-joints of the mind.Binding Type: Paperback

Refreshing and effective
The Dewyhour Eye Balm Cool Stick is a game changer for my under-eye routine! It instantly hydrates and cools, reducing puffiness and dark circles. I love how it feels refreshing on my skin and absorbs quickly. After using it regularly, I’ve noticed a reduction in fine lines too. This balm is now a staple in my skincare routine! Highly recommend for anyone looking to brighten and rejuvenate their eye area.

Be Aware - Highlighter Effect
The cooling effect is nice, but it leaves behind a pearlescent shine like a highlighter all over your eyes. It’s like you took highlighter and smeared it all over your eye area.

I can't put a pic of me with my eyes barely open and a big red note bigger than Rudolph's!!!!!
I tried this item because of the description given on the website, unfortunately, I had a bad reaction to one use of it and I ended up in the Emergency Room at my local hospital.....what a waste of $$$ for me, especially because it said it was all natural.....I have never had a reaction to anything I have put on my face before....I still have a big red nose and one side of my face/nostril is full.....

It feels refreshing
I applied the Dewyhour Eye Balm Cool Stick, and it instantly feels refreshing, almost like a menthol sensation. It’s very cooling and soothing on the skin. However, I recommend not applying it too close to your eyes, as the cooling effect can be a bit strong in that area. Overall, it works well to hydrate and refresh the under-eye area, and I love the silky texture it leaves behind!
