Description
This is another one of my sound experiments. I was disappointed that musically it wasn't very cool. But the trick that this song plays on your ears is amazing. Lemme explain.
You know those word puzzles where you have one word that you have to change into a second word, one letter at a time, creating only real words along the way? I thought I'd do a song like that. Going from one song into a completely different song one sixteenth note at a time. The two songs are "Pork Soda," by The Headhunters, and "Firestarter (Empirion mix)" by Prodigy.
The amazing thing about this song is...well, you should listen to the song first, then read this. (Go ahead give it a listen, its short)....
As the song goes along you hear the same high note sustained on the organ for the first two beats of the measure. But by the middle of the piece, you are only hearing short, disjointed snippets of that note. But it SOUNDS like a sustained note. Thats your brain fooling you. That note isn't there most of the time you think it is. Same kinda thing with the Bongos...you'd swear you can still hear them when in fact they are almost nonexistant. Give it another listen.
Wadda ya think? PLEASE COMMENT--VOTING IS FUTILE. VOTING WITHOUT COMMENTING MEANS NOTHING TO ME. THANKS!

...is probably the response of most who hear this, but i
think that its a very interesting experiment for sure.
however, im less interested in the aural trick (which for
me works for the bongos, but not the organ) and more in
the idea. i would like to hear more of these experiments,
but on a smaller, more concise scale, and using original
music. you might incorporate some kind of time
signature phasing (4 over 3, 5 over 4, etc) or introduce
panning into your scheme as well, to increase the depth of
your experience.
oh yea,
i had no idea how to vote so i didnt
