KQED","labelTerm":{"term":26731,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>There isn’t a lot in Antelope Valley, to the west of Lancaster, California. This patch of the western Mojave Desert, about an hour north of Los Angeles, is desolate. There’s practically nothing for miles except for a few clusters of RVs and a tiny airfield with an old-school diner in the lobby. But it does have one attraction that draws in-the-know travelers — the Musical Road of Lancaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Locals are bemused by the quirky attraction but also a little proud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"David Simmons-Duffin, physicist\"]‘I remember I was in my parents’ kitchen, and the commercial came on the TV. I was intrigued because I’d had some experience with these rumble strips on the road before.’[/pullquote]“I think it’s kind of cool to have this whimsical thing out there,” said Colin Delaney, a librarian at Lancaster Library. “It’s just a fun little thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[My family] would make up spooky stories like if you went backwards on it, something would happen,” said a woman named Marlene, who works at Lancaster’s Museum of Art and History. “One time when my brother started driving, he did go backwards on it. It sounded a little odd, I’m not going to lie. It sounded a little scary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grooves have been cut in a quarter-mile stretch of highway next to some abandoned warehouses so that when cars drive over it, a tune rings out. It’s supposed to be the “William Tell Overture” by the Italian composer Gioachino Rossini, probably best known as the theme to The Lone Ranger. Drivers have to go 55 mph to hear the song, which is recognizable, although the notes sound flat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandra is a waitress at Foxy’s Landing & Restaurant, that old-school diner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Back in 2011, when I moved out here with my friends, they took me on that road,” she said. “We went over it, and it was pretty cool.” Then she added, “I feel like we could have a little better tone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This novelty was built by the car company Honda back in 2008 as part of a TV commercial for the Civic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/sJFGacuxcSM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, the distinctive sound didn’t go down well with some Lancaster residents. People who lived nearby said it was a scratchy sound, like a high-pitched drone or whining. One person said it was like an orchestra that’s constantly out of tune.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honda originally built the road in a much more populated area on Avenue K in downtown Lancaster. However, \u003ca href=\"http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7627713.stm\">according to news reports at the time\u003c/a>, the noise complaints were so bad that the city spent $35,000 to remove and relocate the road to its current location outside of town.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How does it work?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Physicist David Simmons-Duffin remembers hearing the Honda commercial for the first time. He was in graduate school, home for the holidays, visiting his parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I remember I was in my parents’ kitchen, and the commercial came on the TV,” he said. “I was intrigued because I’d had some experience with these rumble strips on the road before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The concept reminded Simmons-Duffin of a childhood memory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I was a kid, we used to drive to a park in Canada. On the roads, they would have these rumble strips before the stop signs, and my dad would experiment with trying to play music by going different speeds over the rumble strips. We would talk about how fast we needed to go to make different kinds of musical scales.

But he had all these birds that he loved, that he kept in the room. We had a tenant once who [damaged] the room, [making] a hole in the wall or something, and he left without saying anything about it.

So much of story is about the arc, about the change and the growth within a character. So to me, it seems like a natural fit to write about young adults. I love writing for children who are at a vulnerable time in their life and to write stories that are, in my mind, realistic but that also offer hope. Because as a young person myself, I really, really needed to see hope in the books that I read.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Sabaa Tahir\"]'I love writing for children who are at a vulnerable time in their life and to write stories that are, in my mind, realistic but that also offer hope.'[/pullquote]I think honesty is really important, showing the messy reality of these kids' lives, both in the struggle but also in the beauty and in the humor — in allowing for a lack of resolution, or a resolution that is perhaps a little bit more ambiguous. Because the truth is that trauma doesn't always leave us. We can heal from it. Sometimes we can shed it, but not always. I wanted to portray that realistically for young people because I don't think young people are always taught how to deal with trauma. And yet young people go through immense amounts of trauma, whether adults want to admit it or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On using music to express Noor's emotions\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>One of the songs that means so much to Noor is \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-r-V0uK4u0&ab_channel=SmashingPumpkinsVEVO\">Bullet with Butterfly Wings\u003c/a>\" by [The] Smashing Pumpkins. And I think people who know the song will recognize the title of this book. It’s this '90s anthem and it really encompasses this sense of rage that Noor feels that is buried very deep. Another song that Noor loves is by Masuma Anwar called \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEPenI-2WsA&ab_channel=GaaneShaane\">Tainu Ghul Gayaan\u003c/a>.\" Anwar has this really deep voice and this incredible range.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noor really struggles to express her feelings. When she speaks out loud, she ends up using short sentences, really having a hard time saying what she means. So one of the reasons why she loves Masuma Anwar so much is because this woman puts so much feeling into a single word.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anna Leone's song \"Once\" comes up on Noor’s playlist as Noor and Salahudin are driving together, and they've just shared some deep secrets with each other.

So much of story is about the arc, about the change and the growth within a character. So to me, it seems like a natural fit to write about young adults. I love writing for children who are at a vulnerable time in their life and to write stories that are, in my mind, realistic but that also offer hope.

Because the truth is that trauma doesn't always leave us. We can heal from it. Sometimes we can shed it, but not always. I wanted to portray that realistically for young people because I don't think young people are always taught how to deal with trauma. And yet young people go through immense amounts of trauma, whether adults want to admit it or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On using music to express Noor's emotions\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>One of the songs that means so much to Noor is \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-r-V0uK4u0&ab_channel=SmashingPumpkinsVEVO\">Bullet with Butterfly Wings\u003c/a>\" by [The] Smashing Pumpkins. And I think people who know the song will recognize the title of this book. It’s this '90s anthem and it really encompasses this sense of rage that Noor feels that is buried very deep. Another song that Noor loves is by Masuma Anwar called \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEPenI-2WsA&ab_channel=GaaneShaane\">Tainu Ghul Gayaan\u003c/a>.\" Anwar has this really deep voice and this incredible range.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noor really struggles to express her feelings. When she speaks out loud, she ends up using short sentences, really having a hard time saying what she means. So one of the reasons why she loves Masuma Anwar so much is because this woman puts so much feeling into a single word.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anna Leone's song \"Once\" comes up on Noor’s playlist as Noor and Salahudin are driving together, and they've just shared some deep secrets with each other.
