These are great for sound masking, to drown out nuisance noises while you do work. I used to use one while doing laundry to let my mind focus on it instead of the screaming children and other chaos at the laundromat.
I have a little device that actually makes various FAN noises and kind of white noise tones that does that... great for work or sleeping, and it's somehow able to create a wash of so many frequencies it can seem to cancel out ambient noise... similar to noise-canceling headphones. But I guess it's a stretch to call those kinds of things "music." :)
Never heard of one of these - really interesting. It's Gonna Rain by Steve Reich predates Eno by some time I think - chcek it out if you haven't heard it - a loop playing on two tape machines that go in and out of synch - really hypnotic.
For sure... Steve Reich has really been ahead on so many things. Great stuff to delve into. I did give the impression that Eno "invented" the idea, but the concept of multiple "loops" of melody going in and out of synch goes back to Bach, even. :)
Interesting. I've never seen these. Thanks for sharing.
very cool. Have never heard of them before.
Am definitely going to look further into these.
Thanks
