So far, hundreds of Diggers are getting their mind’s blown over the Shepard tone audio Illusion. I have to agree. Listen to what I mean. When the video is done playing, replay it to hear the exact same audio seem to continually rise in pitch.

   This is a really clever video adaptation. People who don’t take digital synthesis courses should know about this!

   For another mindf., have you ever listened to the track “fold4, wrap5″ by Autechre?
