Description This was trickier to make than it looks. I finally updated it to load more smoothly but sacrificed some detail.Β 

Zoom in and stare at the center for an optical illusion after a dozen loops of the head.

Congrats on what? Glad you like it. Did you watch it long enough for the illusion?

uhm i'm not sure... maybe i didn't stare long enough, or i hadnt the right focus on the centre, but i just saw the usual rotation of the ouroboros and the head moving at a different speed

And never it be hungry.
Never ever.
It also reminds me of the snake of the never ending story, the one on the book and hanging on the necklace XD
O and then it stopped

I tried again XD
At first when I read about optical illusion,
I stared at it for 12 turn and well it was a bit wacky but nothing happened so I scrolled down.
Then I looked up and o it really stopped so I shrugged
Now I watched it till it just ended and indeed it makes the reverse effect
Not to strong tho but that is because I probably should've zoomed in having no distraction.

Seems to work better for me if I focus on the center, resist the urge to follow the head around :]

Dat song is fix burned on my brain plate, analogly

I was into TH and CBGB the whole afternoon.

Do you know the downmixes on youtube already?

www.youtube.com/results?search…

Listened to them all, well one after the other...

Really great sound-details, which you havenΒ΄t got on the records; I guess

Interesting, I wasn't aware of downmixing, just read a little about it.Β 
I guess that explains why bits of songs seem to be missing sometimes.Β

Redsterfish In reply to nilwilnil [2018-07-19 19:46:02 +0000 UTC]

I was thinking about the matter, why the did it back then, quite a lot.

Maybe they were believing itΒ΄s more dense and catchy, to cut off the tops, you know producers

Yeah enjoy!! ThereΒ΄s tons of sounds you couldnΒ΄t notice ...I kind of had the feeling, to be undefened

nilwilnil In reply to Redsterfish [2018-07-19 20:17:00 +0000 UTC]

The way I understand it is that a song was originally mixed on 5 channels (for 5 speakers).Β 
But most radios are stereo (2 speakers) or mono (1 speaker), so some of the low end frequencies were lost.Β 
So I guess downmixing takes this into account to preserve the frequencies.Β 
There are upmixing and joint up/downmixing too, but I'll stop researching for now.Β

Haha, I don't have that much control. It's not your computer, I had to stop the loop at some point to create the illusion.Β 
It would be nice if it had a play/pause button.Β
