Thanks BPH, that is superb. Subtlely, spookily melodious.

Actually, come to think of it, I miss the sounds of dial-up. As the sonic precursor gateway to a (then) new world, it was a bit like the moment a theatre curtain begins raising on an act you've been dying to see.

Fond memories of the dial-up tone. I really should get a life.

Wow! Awesome. Reminds me of Dr. Fiorella Terenzi's MUSIC OF THE GALAXIES...

I'm all alone in the Lounge, no guests, no users....what kind of sound should I make?
And, if I make it, and no one is here is hear it, what then?
First try:
Well played, God. Well played".

That is so alien and not natural and unlike anything else my ears have ever been subjected to that it confuses my brain. If it were very much longer I would have to stop listening. It's not exactly disturbing, but it's not in the least soothing. I'm not sure what it makes me feel, but somehow I vaguely sense it's not inconsequential. I think if i were to listen to it again I might discover that it's effect on me derives from trying and failing to find something familiar to hang on to.

I’ve had to let that Xenakis work be inconsequential. I know you know there’s much more to consider than expressions the likes of which reflect Xenakis’s. Composers of his nature became experimenters, as many composers have been, let’s say, during the most recent 600 years, and some experimenters of today’s music are composing by interweaving previous compositional devices, whether they acknowledge those devices is another story: they’d rather not be associated with a music elite, as well they are, of course. It’s really extraordinary, that is, which elite circle one wishes to explore, and from whom to become unattached by the smallest or grandest devices. We humans will not ever give up exploring!

Perhaps, the antidote for unfamiliarity is on its way? I’ve another post that’s not nearly ready as a response to kelley’s most recent contribution in the ongoing hauntology thread. In my post, I think I’ll link back to your initial post, above.

They have been to many doctors but the doctors are clueless. Sometimes it gets so bad they report that their brain feels inflamed. They hear sounds that sound like morse code sometimes. Sometimes it sounds like music, a television, people talking, etc..Sometimes they feel disoriented, weak, sick. When they turn their head one way the sound changes or goes away, and when they turn their head back to its original position the sound resumes.


I was just in southeast MO at a place called Alley Spring. Amazing place. 81 million gallons a day comes out of this spring. We hiked to the top of the bluff above the spring and I had one of the most intense auditory hallucinations (?) I have ever had. It was a very low, deep bass tone. Mostly it was constant, but occasionally it would pulse. I only "heard" it in my left ear. I put heard in quotes because it wasn't so much hearing as feeling. That was one of the really strange things about it. It vibrated my skull with what felt like a resonant frequency. (Do auditory hallucinations do that?) It was very loud. If I turned around it would change, becoming more or less resonant, more or less loud. It made me feel a bit disoriented, but I could attribute that to the strangeness of the experience. When I moved away from the spot it disappeared. When I moved back it resumed. My partner heard nothing.

The pulsed tone was heard on the bluffs overlooking Alley Spring. I've been looking for a conventional explanation. It seems to me that water flowing underground might well generate some interesting hydroacoustic dynamics. I was thinking maybe some sort of semi-audible/felt infrasound of some sort. This article: http://www.wtpoptics.com/Infrasonic.pdf seems to provide some support for that theory. Who knows what I was standing on. We were a couple of hundred feet above the spring at that point.

Another conventional answer might be that some sort of mapping technology that utilizes pulsed vlf waves or EM energy of some sort that could set up a resonance effect in the underground cavities was being used at the time and I just happened to be at the right place at the right time to hear it.

There had been a swedish settlement there. 81 million gallons of fresh water come out of that spring every day. The water stays at a steady 58 degrees f. I imagine on a hot summer day that would have been nice.

I don't think I've properly emphasized just how intense this experience was. I was dumbfounded. I've had auditory hallucinations before. I often here faint, distant music that no one else seems to hear. Despite it's faintness it's very vivid to me. I hear other things. This was different. It was LOUD. If you've ever had your hearing tested imagine hearing the lowest tone in the test through one headphone loud enough that it vibrates your skull.(minor correction from previous post. It was my right ear that I heard the tone in) I've heard tones before, but this was completely unprecedented. And moving my head about like an old fashioned antenna to adjust the clarity and volume was disconcerting. That's the detail in Eyeno's post that caught my attention. Neuropathology is a possibility. Perhaps I should get my head examined.

It appears from the following USGS geological survey map (PDF) that I was standing on:

Gasconade Dolomite (Lower Ordovician)—Dolomite, chert, sandstone,
and orthoquartzite.
