My friend is also sending me new ones.

Also, here's a couple of links explaining what is what:

Bursting (the crackling peaks emerging from the white noise)

Something about what you are hearing

My friend is also explaining me other thing about this, if you are curious don't be afraid to ask.

and yuh i had that thought at first too

Talking with a friend of mine, a neuro scientist, we discussed low pass filters, square waves and such, but from two very different points of view. I was talking about music and sounds, and he was talking about other properties he studies in order to figure out how brains work.

After a few beers, he agreed to send me samples of the brain cells of the thalamus of a lab rat, which he studies in order to understand different reactions to outside stimuli. When I heard the sounds, I was amazed: it's some kind of white noise, but with unpredictable peaks and rhithmic bursts.

I tried to do something musical with it, and this was the result. I used some parts of the sample to do percussive sounds, and other parts as background noise. The bass is a moogish vst, while the audio is made of some excerpts from the lunar landing recordings. The sound crackles a lot, for obvious reasons, but I like it this way. Weird, I know, but I had fun.

Apologies for my bad scientific english, and sorry if this is too off topic for this board.

Here's the song:

Of course, if anyone is interested, I'll gladly share the original samples.

Edit: the song is not final. I still want to tweak something and work on the arrangement, but this is definitely the sound.
