Insane Sound Illusion

What's up with this little tune?! Keep replaying it to hear it go higher and higher. This is the audio equivalent of Escher's ascending staircases! It's a recording of Roger Shepard's paradox synthesized by Jean-Claude Risset. Pairs of chords sound like they're going up the scale, but actually the starting pair of chords is the same as the finishing pair.

@32CoolestDude Anything that fucks with our senses are illusions. It's an auditory illusion if it's with sound, and an optical illusion if it's with visuals.

Um, no it doesn't. Your focus just remains on the top of the pair of pitches. When it ends, make sure you're listening to the bottom pitch as well, it starts over at the bottom.

Listen to the end of echoes by Pink Floyd, same theory. It's also pretty simple, the top harmonic ends around 0:03.

@Panthur6502 The end of Echoes is a great example of a Shepard tone auditory illusion. They made some amazing music. One thing I like about Floyd is that they were truly unique and they didn't change their musical styles to try to please record execs., fill stadiums and sell their music. That's what I respect most about them.
