This piece is very clever. It's science...Well, no it's not...it's culture...wait, it's both! In fact, it's all about what people might be thinking about when they're listening to sound and what they're expecting when it comes to music. I thought the interview subjects were excellently chosen, and the editing and voicing is impeccable, as usual. The whole package is mighty entertaining, but just one point. The descriptions of the music are fascinating, and are perhaps the whole point...besides, that is, the music itself, which is tantalizingly strange and could I hear a little more of it to relate to the experiment? I think this is the third time in a row I've said something about that in a review. Umm I'm repeating myself. Um I'm repeating myself. I'm um I'm.
