recipe to insanity

for the past half an hour i have been listening to the end of this song skip in a pattern i can not predict. occasionally it will skip back about 30 seconds and play the song back to where it skips, then it skips some more. process repeats over and over and over.

after an excessively substantial ammount of listening to this in this room, would i go mad?
i already feel so crazy and my mind twisted up, i just want to shut it all off and go to sleep. so i shall.

GAHHHHHHHHH THIS IS MADNESS! !

Re: recipe to insanity

I think it's just about the same as listening to a popular radio station. The music repeats about every 20 to 30 minutes.

Where would we be today if people like Galileo and Michelson just quit in the middle of their experiments? You might have something significant to contribute to humanity. You must push on for the greater good.

Re: recipe to insanity

I think something like this was brought up in a different thread, but anyways...
A friend of mine has a CD that has a audio translation of brainwaves in various states. He says it has quite an effect upon him. There is a track of sleeping brain waves that he says causes him to sleep like crazy and makes it very difficult to get up if it was put on repeat all night.

Perhaps this is linked in with sleep learning and influencing such as "quit smoking" and "increase your vocabulary" tapes you are supposed to listen to while you sleep....

Re: recipe to insanity

I tried a similar experiment once, I think you should repeat it Orb. Play Kashmir (the led zepplin song) on repeat for about 6 hours with you always locked in the same room. See how that affects your sanity
