speaking of crickets...

check this out:

http://www.songpeddler.com/JimWilson/Go ... Wilson.asp

This unusual recording contains two tracks:
1. the natural sound of crickets chirping
2. the sound of the crickets slowed down to match and mirror the length of the average lifespan of a human being.

The angelic chorus you hear accompanying the sound of the crickets is NOT a synthesizer or a chorus singing. It's the crickets themselves (slowed down) creating the effect

:skeptic:

This post has to be the most abstract post I have ever read.

I would like to add one thing....the number two.

Hmm, I'll need to perform a few cricket experiments myself, but at the moment I'm not imagining a varispeed or timestretched cricket to sound anything like that...

I would really like to know what if any manipulations have been done to the sounds there. Guess I'm a little skeptical, but if that is actually what it says it is then - WOW!
