a moment ago we played a series of tones close your eyes and take another listen
are you still hearing the notes
are you still hearing the notes continuously rising how is that possible
continuously rising how is that possible
continuously rising how is that possible keep watching we’ll back up a little and
keep watching we’ll back up a little and
