musical composition is a very complex art and there are a whole lot of subconscious tricks. What the music does to the mind the body, dissonants, harmonics, everything has an effect on our whole being. So, yes, the indents have been chosen carefully, but the same goes for beethovens requiem and christina aguileras kitsch...

I don't think you're off your head at all. i'm convinced 'music' has been doing this forever. i won't listen to the radio or watch television. any time i do, not of my own choosing, but with others, and any commercials come on, it can be guaranteed i'll want to buy what's being sold.
the repetitive thud, also, in 'music' affects me. i become distressed walking into shops/elevators hearing it.
very interesting thread. S & F.

I think the similarity in the note combinations is due to the fact that there are only so many notes, and the originality behind those that choose the notes may be a factor as well, and the combination of a few notes that sounds good, if a company wanta a new sound they probably say, 'something like nbc', this is more of a realistic explanation, if you can prove that those notes in peticular have more power over the frequency of the human brain that would be a different story.

interesting video LTRU. You might be on to something but with some of these you seem to be "reaching".
it might just be that certain sounds and shapes/ratios are simply more pleasant than others. It could be nothing more than that. Brainwashing is certainly occurring but i wouldn't say for certain that those particular tonal patterns have some malevolent meaning.
It's possible though . . .
the "close encounters of the third kind" audio sample was intriguing. now you've got me paranoid!
you too, and the video was put together very nicely by the way

Hey JPhish, good to see you.
Again, I really don't think there is a conspiracy of sorts. I believe that all evil is done in the open, just as all good is and that "the powers that be" are us.
not sure what you’re saying here.
But I do also believe that what people don't know, doesn't necessarily need be told to them.
haha so true. I recently spoke with a teacher about this. The schools are not in place to impart knowledge; they are in place, to keep you in place.
Look at the peoples rights for example. We are supposed to know the law. We are told that from the time we start school. Here's what's f'd up. They don't teach you the law. They teach you George Washington's birthday.
ignorance is bliss to some.
Now, when our rights are stripped away, we have no excuse because we are to know the law, yet our government doesn't require teaching of the law. No conspiracy, rather ignorance. Not wholly the peoples fault, but not the governments either.
makes perfect sense, you might need to elucidate that one statement you made though. “But I do also believe that what people don't know, doesn't necessarily need be told to them.”
Make any sense?

Cool video LTRU.
If the goal is to hypnotise, then dude, I just OD'd on your video. I would write more but I feel this urgent need to go buy stuff that will help me forget about terrorists.
Seriously though, I wonder if the studio logos at the intro to all movies are a standard time frame etc. They seem universal in the way they are structured. The same with company Icons like Windows, Intel etc. I wonder if there is an industry standard in advertising that sets the trend.
Music is such strange extension of our consciousness, I can't imagine life without it and there is no doubt, movie makers, advertisers, MSM, malls, elevators(hehe) and supermarkets and the like use this to influence emotion and our responses. Wether it is subversive is topic of many a debate.
Once again, cool video.
BTW, what music was that at the end of the vid?
