awesome. If you listen closely you'll find that it uses a chromatic descending scale that repeats at 20 second intervals. Go to the beginning and listen. Then listen at 20 seconds. Then at 40 seconds. Sounds similar? Of course, the one at the beginning is a tad less bassy due to the... more

Could it be the first auditory illusion on StumbleUpon? Certainly the first I've seen. Heard, rather. I love it, by the way.

Then at 40 seconds. Sounds similar? Of course, the one at the beginning is a tad less bassy due to the fade in, but still those are the exact same tones. Your ears were just "following" different octaves of the same scale because you had listened to it a few times. I love this shit.

You may notice that the scale always seems to be going down, but not getting much lower. It's an auditory equivalent of an old-fashioned barber pole. But how is it possible in a sound pattern?
