This is one great piece of thinking by the creators of it. They have simply exploited the capability of the human brain to analyze and identify a considerably accurate location of the sound source by analyzing the tiny variations of the sound pressure level.
As it is mentioned in the track itself, the recording has been done by using two microphones, having them in an orientation similar to that of a human’s ears while taking in to account the sonic peculiarities of the way the ears perceive sound. This is known as 'binaural recording' and it differs from stereo since stereo do not factor in natural ear spacing or 'head-shadow' of the head and ears.
Just grab this clip, put on your earphones correctly (Generally, the correct usage is in small print on the earphone as L(Left) and R(Right)) , close your eyes and listen to the entire track as recommended below, and let it take you through the experience of being in a pretty weird barber shop (where they tend to put grocery bags over your head.. :) No more tips about the content than this… ;) )
Having earphones and having the correct earphone in the correct ear is a MUST…!
Recommendations for best experience:
* Keep your eyes closed during the entire playback.
* Be seated in an orientation similar to what you’d have in a barber shop when you get a hair cut.
* Be in an environment free of vibrations and other sounds.
I haven’t tried this clip on a 4.1 or above audio system. I guess the surround effect would still be there, but the greatest and most realistic experience would be with a simple pair of earphones coz it gives the sounds of ‘near-ear-occurrences’ in such a realistic way.
The recommended method of perception gives the best experience... and it is guaranteed…
Try it out…!!! It’s going to be breathtaking…
Tip of the post :
It is really fun letting others listen to this and see how they react when they hear certain things. I really enjoyed letting my parents and little sister listen to it and observing them. Believe me… Some reactions are worth capturing on video and publishing in YouTube… :D
