A while back, I found the ToneMatrix, which is an online sinewave synthesizer. After playing around with it, I made a recording of one session. I then worked it over with a few audio editors and this is the result:
I just woke up from a dream in which I was telling a girl about a dream I had within another dream (within this dream in which I was speaking to her), in which I was told that I would die after listening to a particular song. When having the dream within a dream (within this dream), I had been afraid. But in the telling of it, I realized there was no reason to be afraid. Of course I would die after listening to the song. If I died before listening to it, I wouldn’t be able to listen to it. And just because I was going to die after listening to it, it doesn’t mean that I would die immediately after listening to it.
We all die in the end after doing whatever it is that we end up doing. To avoid listening to music for fear of listening to your last song would be to lose your life even while you are still living.
Edit: Before falling asleep again, I distilled that last line into a haiku:
If, for fear of death,
you avoid hearing music,
you will die in life.
Commercialism is ugly, but not all commercials are.
The music in the Audi A4 commercials is beautiful, if unfortunately short. Even better, it’s available for download here.
I also like the subtle ambient music for the A4 website. Ignore the product they’re trying to sell you that you probably can’t afford anyway and just enjoy the music at http://www.truthinengineering.com/a4/.
Song stuck in my head.
That’s not a bad thing.

That’s not a bad thing either.
