Come away death, etc. a unique palette.
on: June 29, 2010, 11:32:44 AM
Sorry, I know this is weird, but I listened to the entire thing and thought it was strangely beautiful. It was a failed attempt to record from a DVD Finzi's "Let Us Garlands Bring" and a scene from Fidelio (Beethoven). I would be so technically depraved to come up with such an odd result!

This has to do with my suddenly wanting to share this and this.

(What am I here for???)

A little scary :) and cool  8) It's like it was coming from another world! I know why :) I think there must be some kind of a black hole or something close to where you were recording this :) And then the sound got pulled into the black hole and got distorted! Maybe someone from another world wanted to listen to your DVD too, so they created a little black hole and pulled the sound through it into their universe!  :)  :D  8)

This is really interesting. I think they use effects like this in techno or trance.

Hi Dave,

This sound is like an altered state where one can hear, but cannot hear.  It seems like a stepping stone toward an aural glimpse into the afterlife.

Bit monotonous.  I enjoyed it for several minutes.  I'll bet there's thousands of works like it out there - many going unlistened to!

Bit monotonous. 

Yes, I performed some experiments doing deliberately what I did here as an accident. Monotonous, and even monotonous. I still don't know why this happened, but I wonder if it has something to do with Vista's restrictions.

Yes, a strange experience, and all of it an accident.

This was not an accident, but experimenting on the accident:

Monotonous, in that no matter the dynamic or pitch, it is all in the same range. It is all piano and background noise, and whatever this thing does, it creates a constantly repeating sound palette. Used for this was an improvisation I already posted some time ago. It must be what a coma sounds like...or stars millions of light years away...whatever it is, good for you if you can endure much of it! :)

I just listened to all of this now (before I just listened to a few minutes) and it wasn't really hard to listen to it, becasue after a while it became kinda calming  :) and it was like I could hear the wind and the sea and different melodies  :)  (and sometimes also an engine like I was on a bus or airplane or ship), so I should listen to this always before going to sleep!  :)  :P

Oh, it's quite a feat that you got to the other side! But I must caution you about listening to it always before going to sleep...such a sustained frequency probably could cause hearing loss, which would not be very calming! :)
