Default A wonderful example of arroagance and stupidity from RAHE

Prove it.

I'm just kind of amused by the irony of watching sockpuppet wheel and Weil
get led down the primrose path by the high pass filters built into their
turntables, which seem to be their references for judging all sound quality
and relevance. Because their reference music sources are incapable of clean
reproduction at 6 Hz, they are obviously and delusionally trying to convince
themselves and the world that music can't possibly contain sound at 6 Hz or
below.

Just a note - there's certainly no pipe organ that hits 6 hz.


Not as its tuning frequency. Which is not to say that there is no pipe organ
that generates sound that down at 6 Hz and below. The longest "standard"
pipes are 32' which corresponds to a tuning frequency of about 16 Hz. The
pipe organ I record has a true 16' rank, so its lowest fundamental would be
32 Hz. This is about the same as the lowest note on a 5 string electric
bass. However, my recordings of music at that location go a lot lower than
32 Hz.

A lot of the subsonics in music are not fundamentals of musical sounds, but
are instead sounds that are incidental to the production of music. However,
there are music works that use non-standard sound sources that produce
infrasonics as part of the musical performance. I'll cite two very well
known examples below. All this consternation about sound at 6 Hz in music
just proves what a bunch of musical ignoramuses RAO is now filled with.

Many musical instruments produce substantial amounts of sound at frequencies
that are well below their nominal fundamental resonant frequency. For
example, a kick drum's fundamental is set by the resonance of its drum head,
which is relatively high. However, when the drum's pedal is operated
briskly, an acoustical transient is produced that has significant measurable
components that go far lower.

There
are two that get close though. As far as I know, there's only one
musical device that can hit 6 Hz or below and it isn't "perceivable"
(in practical terms) to anyone that isn't playing it. And I would bet
that Arnold can't prove that he's ever "perceived" 6 Hz in a live
setting.


Weil is obviously now totally unfamiliar with well-known orchestral works
such as Wellington's Victory and the 1812 Overture. I've been at a live
performance of the 1812. Weil probably once knew about these pieces of
music. The illegal drugs must have taken their toll on what was left of his
brain.
