Hehe. But certain frequencies can have a direct physical affect on your body, of course. Perhaps not very specific, but you can certainly make people feel a bit better (if they make the effort to synchronize their brainwaves with the audio frequencies) or a bit worse (with certain high or low frequencies). Sonic Warfare by Steve Goodman discusses this in a very political-theoretical way.

Re: The Honesty Thread (52 replies, posted in General Discussion)
On the way to the Gathering demoparty in 1997, my friend went to exchange money at the local post office. We took off and later stopped at a gas station, where he discovered that he got 1000 euros back from the cashier instead of the 100 he was supposed to get.
We were trying to convince him not to return it (if there is a reason to peer pressure, then go for it, right?). Finally he decided to return it though, when we got back to Sweden. And it was not in vain! He received a reward in the form of ... a pencil.
Honesty rocks!

Re: Good Documentaries? (55 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Adam Curtis seems to do interesting stuff, although just started to download them (from Archive.org). Lots of psychology & politics -- fear, individualism, rationalism, PR -- and doesn't seem to be the usual scandalous shit. It's on archive.org, I suppose, because he uses BBC's archives extensively, which makes it impossible to clear all the rights.

Busted -- scheisse!
But this player is a different weapon of Frantic's. I'm telling him to release it, but, well... Access is so past millennium!

Re: Rob Hubbard's music driver (C64) (30 replies, posted in Commodore Computers)
So the wavetable can use several voices for one sound? A snare drum could take up noise->pulse->noise? Or rather noise+pulse at the same time? I like that idea though. One track to rule them all, argh! I think SDi on C64 uses a related approach, with having a virtual track for effects (and samples?).
I remember that someone did a SID-tune with about 7 channels. The 'songs' started with one note and gradually added notes to end up with a mega-chord. It was basically just arpeggiators, but as I remember it it sounded slightly less discretey (hm, new word?). Can't remember any names, hmm.

Re: Rob Hubbard's music driver (C64) (30 replies, posted in Commodore Computers)
@neil: Tjelta's player is indeed very impressive! But Frantic coded another player precisely in response to Geir's Macroplayer and it has the same sort of feats but uses even fewer rasterlines. Looking forward to the scandalous headlines when he releases it
About Hubbard's player -- what would be the most different approach to the Hubbard-way (but still aimed for demo/game use)? I know 4mat is looking into these things a bit. If Hubbard still haunts a lot of chipmusic software, what is it that he doesn't haunt so to say?

Sweet! But definitely not from 1982, and not very chippy either. Well maybe it is, but someone must have gone back with a time machine
Why not from 1982? It's possible. Hopefully it's even true. Proto-acid!

You mean Stowell's AY-thing? I'm pretty sure it's on its own in that video. He loops his voice and stuff though.
