Just listened to the Darling Conversations. "It's You" really spoke to me. I loved the fact that they mentioned how people shouldn't get intimidated by older, more experienced musicians. They are just more experienced not better, we all have our own greatness within us and can create and share our own ideas in our own unique ways. "Babbling" was a fun one because it works as an ice breaker and gets people more warmed up to each other. I had never thought of it as any type of music, but really it's a form of self expression and just shows that we all have the capacity for music, even early on as babies. I found "Vocal Timbre" interesting because he mentioned the different types of vowel sounds and what we as western musicians would find a "quality" sound, but it really varies from culture to culture. As Taylor mentioned earlier, Belgian women use a different, more open type of timbre than we do here and get a different quality of sound, but there's really no right or wrong sound. I didn't think that there is one natural timbre to use, like they said in the recording, I would say that it varies depending on where you're from.
