Review of Beats that defy boxes

 

The Ted talk I have chosen to review is Beats that defy boxes. While listening to this Ted talk, I have realized that although this doesn’t connect to music, it connects to the message that music sends. I realized that both the topic od this Ted talk and music want to convey a message to it’s listeners. I think that both music and beatboxing want to express something in a different way.

 

While this Ted talk does not directly relate to my passion, it is clear that there are similar ideas. While watching this Ted talk, I came to the realization that beatboxing is another way of making noises or music. I also realized that beatboxing is similar to music. I think it’s very interesting that beatboxing can consist of just making noises, saying gibberish or actually have words. I think it’s interesting to realize how much beatboxing can express something in a similar way as music.

 

While listening to the person giving the Ted talk beatbox, I remembered that I heard beatboxing before in a movie. I realized that beatboxing is similar to rapping. I think it’s interesting how beatboxing can bring out different ideas. The idea is that the beats go beyond these boxes of which we normally think in and it’s an interesting idea. It’s also intriguing how in this Ted talk, the person giving the Ted talk speaks in a few languages and changes his accent as well. I think that this shows how much things have changed in the realm of music.

 

It’s also interesting that both music and beatboxing allow someone to use instruments or their voices to bring something out. I think that while the Ted talk is highly focused on how beats go outside the binary, it also brings out how many different ways we can come up with very different things.

 

While it’s interesting that this Ted talk shows how lots of things go outside the box, I think there’s a deeper meaning to the Ted talk. I think that this Ted talk brings out how different my understanding of something is from someone else’s understanding of the same thing. I also think it’s interesting how there are references that lighten the mood and help bring out the point. Beatboxing allows someone to creatively use noises to come up with a sequence of noises that when put together might be nonsense to someone but to another person may make sense and be smooth.
