[purplecricket07]

freakin bad ass

[MrCornellian]

i find this extremely scary for some reason

[MustNotRead]

amazing

[Mdazzze]

@VenomsRage815 According to Mark Katz - Capturing Sound, How Technology Has Changed Music. "Heard on headphones (perhaps the “natural” venue for such a piece), the voices seem to be inside one’s head, bouncing and darting chaotically. In fact, we are hearing only one voice, that of Lansky’s wife, Hannah MacKay. MacKay is reading from chapter 25 of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, in which Jane tells Rochester of her unusual dreams."

[VenomsRage815]

he did this by recording conversations around Berkley,sorting them by pitch and compiling them. pretty cool idea

[kensabeast9]

@koalajones88 Hahahahahaha this is hilariously wrong.

[TheoryAndComposition]

@koalajones88 If it's so easy, then why don't you put your money where your mouth is?

[DIPinYOURlip]

listening to this for an intro to computer music class... Lanksy is a boss

[k2alexx]

i wonder what it sounds like backwards

[sipisiu]

@k2alexx try it !



[MasteroftheOrange]

This song scares me ;A; and I have to study it for RCM

[Cynthia5314]

lol... KT-Granulator

[nemo371994]

@koalajones88 this is genius, the rhythms are just far too complex for your unintelligent mind to understand

[CardsAsWeapons]

@nemo371994

Hey, now I think it's brilliant too!

[Beyonillusions]

EXAMS are over XD. Easier than I expected????

[pitabread12]

rcm exam in 1 hr 10..... OH MAH GOD

[ckbyebye1]

Good luck tomorrow. Seems like everyone here's writing tomorrow. I'm just glad we don't have to memorize the excerpt for this.

[Chubereene]

good luck tomorrow!!

[sauternety36]

I'm reading a history textbook for the RCM exam, and apparently this piece opens with G minor?!! um... okay.

[DominoViolin]

RCM Music History FTW

[Chubereene]

haha is everyone studying this for their rcm music history exam that's next week?

[sauternety36]

@Chubereene lol exactly.

[IronJack532]

Acid Flashback!

[haveacorndog]

John Cage was a really nice guy, not a d-bag.

[haveacorndog]

koalajones, you have no idea what you're talking about.

[rlai816]

i'm studying this piece right now in history :)

[Mushyrulez]

Nice to know the RCM curriculum makers have some style :v

[DOPPELMOVEMENT]

I wonder what would happen if someone slowed down the voices, but then again it might be just random chatter.

[xtfcr7]

This is awesome... but it gave me a headache after the first minute.

[rafael28]

first heard on the cd that came with my music appreciation textbook &

i remember this shit thoroughly blowing my mind

[CalgarySpeller26]

Such a cool piece. Even though I know it's nonsense that sounds like voices, I keep trying to decipher the "words".

[swisschampKB81]

This song is too short

[Thrass0]

i heard this song 2 days ago and really loved it!

wow!

[Brockatthedisco1]

hard to believe the "voices" were electronically created.

[Xeno8345]

@Brockatthedisco1 my textbook says it was samples of his wife speaking haha

[neyney13765]

this makes me laugh that this piece is within the RCM History 5 curriculum lol

[sauternety36]

@neyney13765 lol i saw this comment and i burst out laughing - you see, im reading the curriculum this very instant and only went on youtube to listen to this piece.

[FindTheBody]

@neyney13765 Yeah totally lmao

[soupcastle]

I heard this song about 7 years ago when i took a music class It blows my mind still it's wonderful

[StringMaster94]

I was wondering if this song would even be on youtube? I got introduced to it from my band teacher in the school i go to. me and my classmates call it the "disco Aleins" song. i have to be honest though i really do hate modern music even the neo-classical stuff sucked. shoenbergs 12 tone stuff was crapp and John Cage is a duchbag this song is cool though.

[lordbonzo]

@StringMaster94 You kind of suck a little bit. Stop ranting and enjoy the song.

[milesmcclain1989]

@StringMaster94

well, stringmaster94, you sound like a well-educated dude.

[zailee101]

wth are they saying?

[JohnnyCagePro]

i feel dizzy

[DaVeej]

@OneLastWish157 Same exact thing happened to me.

[Mrnestorh]

This is exactly how everthing sounds after I smoke some really good weed!

[Chriscooper447]

@Mrnestorh Fuck! there's someone else that hears the same thing as i do?! i thought i was crazy. but it's just the weed... nice one!

[SHIZNITBOOYA]

enya has an affair with infected mushroom

[thenadsorad]

[thenadsorad]

[OneLastWish157]

[OneLastWish157]

i was learnin history and the teacher let us listen to this and most people didn't like it only i did and i didn't tell them ><

[UniQueLyEviL]

The music and cover art really reminds me of Akira in a weird way...

[omnislade]

@UniQueLyEviL TOTALLY :)

[UniQueLyEviL]

@UniQueLyEviL The ambiance and music during the scene a bit as well.

[UniQueLyEviL]
