It sounds to me like a changing rate on an amplitude envelope of noise. This could be done on a synth with an arpeggiator. I made a quick video sketching out how it could be done: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bf6YbjqrbX0

No, I posted a video that showing the time signature and rhythm of the song being counted in 4/4, going by the ride cymbal and having nothing to do with the piano.
Check the intro of that clip. Radiohead's drummer Phil Selway hits the ride cymbal every time there's a piano chord.

If you agree ...

In the same sense, JC is just 3/4 ultimately.

I disagree.

The internal rhythm of JC when sampled down an octave does not seem to be in 3/4. I hear a straight 8/4 groove with a bit of swing. This would seem to imply that the 3/4 feel at normal speed is an "effect" of how those elements are placed ...

Actually, try this in your favourite sequencer:

Make a normal beat pattern.
Reverse all the seperate instruments.
Export entire pattern.
Import in audacity (or whatever) and reverse.

You'll get that weird swing effect on the snares. I did that allot on my dropkots record.

Nice, that's a ...

Title explains it, check the video here:

tl;dw Jacquard Causeway seems to occupy both 3/4 and 8/8 time signatures. I slowed it down on tape and realized it's actually not ONLY in triplet time: it can also be counted in terms of 8/8 time.

The track that I mention in the video for download ...

Haha, ok. Well, none of those triangles are congruent bro. Or maybe that's the pattern?

Also WHERE DA RHOMBUSES?

I think I found a sock in my sock drawer.
It's hard to tell how closely you read this thread, but the hypothesis has kinda changed since my original post about hyper-precise amplitude modulation down to the byte.

Within the same second or so in Uritual, there are two strings both of which link ...

I don't have the time or the background in statistical analysis to determine with 99.9% confidence that there is some undeniable intentional connection between the official Bleep.com download of "Uritual.wav" when viewed as plaintext, and the publicly available NASA data on the internet.

This is ...

I don't think BOC expect people to go to the lengths described above. It's not intended. One day they might want to play again, knowing that we're ready, but when they do I believe we will know that we are playing.

I disagree with the above perspective, and I cite the following quote:

Have ...

You need to get out more.
Haha, I get out plenty, my friend; don't you worry.

I appreciate the negative feedback. It has forced me to think more about all this stuff and if it really makes any sense at all.

Let's look again at a handful of patterns I found in near the 90-95% mark in ...

Thanks for the response. I'm sorry if this seems kooky.

The reason I posted was to figure out if this pattern was indeed just something that happens based on how digital audio is encoded, which is something I have a tenuous at best understanding of.

Techboy, I appreciate the knowledge you ...

Story requires a bit of background, but I'll keep it concise as possible.

TL;DR:

Examining the 'official' wav file (the one I downloaded from Bleep) of "Uritual" in a text editor revealed some interesting micro-patterns in the raw data that, at the very least, I think connect to the "up-down ...

Wow, I had never thought to listen to those vocals backwards in Kid for Today! When I reversed that part of the tune, I also heard the "can't return to collect that link" stuff, too. And the ensuing analysis about links, yards, chains etc was also very interesting...

Mikey, I'm wondering what you ...

? I posted this because I heard other words than that... And as far as I know, I don't think those are "official" lyrics.

Recently I've been looking at the vocal intro section to "An Eagle In Your Mind". Here it is the resulting screencast:

TL;DW:


1. This analysis is entirely my opinion, but I've tried to remain as objective as possible. I've provided ...

I will say that Mikey (BrunchTime) is 100% correct about Digital Audio Converters (DACs) being a major factor in sound quality. I recently switched from a standard 1/8" headphone jack (which outputs analog sound via the internal DAC in my Macbook) to a dedicated Firewire-enabled DAC, before sending ...

I think anyone who listens intently to BoC would agree that there are voices in the tunes sometimes. Key word being "sometimes".

You often make an implicit distinction between the voices and the music. It seems that the voices you claim to hear are the semantic content which provide a framework ...

That video was great. Thanks for offering the reasoned analysis. I'm really digging all the new multimedia videos/podcasts etc illustrating their music. Breathing some life into the 20 years of messageboard stuff.

Good stuff, man. Thanks for your work and your thoughts. I absolutely 10000% think ...

Revisiting the whole Telepath mono vocals thing...

So I managed to write a crappy program that can kinda eliminate sounds that are only in stereo left or right. Thing is the panned sounds generally have some mono component to them so I can't completely isolate the vocals with this method or ...
