Hi guys

When you take a vocal sample, chop it up and sequence it you can often something that sounds quite bizarre and could be interpreted differently by different people, depending on what you hear.

Is there a technical name for this phenomena?

"Gibberish"?

Apohenia - finding patterns where none exist. Pattern recognition is the broader area under which these phenomena fall.

The brain is primed to find meaning in speech (among other things) and will often seek to impose patterns on random speech like utterances. EVP (trying to hear voices of the dead in radio static) is another audio example while seeing the face of Jesus on a piece of toast is a visual example (in this case 'template recognition'). Really fascinating area. Here's a fantastic audio example illustrating template recognition: http://soundcloud.com/whyy-the-pulse/an-audio-illusion

Ooh stand there, baby stand there, Ooh stand there, baby stand there. What I really like about techno and house, of the right kind, is how the modulation of these sounds makes them sound like the speech is slowly changing over time. In the right mindset, it's a trip.

Not sure. There is a name for the "na na na" type-vocals in songs though.

Ace! Thank you Cron

Though it shows up as Apophenia on Wiki so I am guessing your spelling was a typo.

That's the one.

In France, when one sings in fake english, we call it "yogurt".

That seems pretty random.

I remember the first time I heard vocals like that but also processed through a resonant filter. If you're not aware how filters work (as I was then), it's the most trippy thing, sounds like the syllables are morphing and the meaning is changing over time. Sometimes I'd give anything to be able to hear music without all of the knowledge I've gained over the years. Or go back to my teenage self and blow myself away with one of my future tracks

"Sometimes I'd give anything to be able to hear music without all of the knowledge I've gained over the years"

Yes I share that feeling! When my mind was blown by granular synthesis and stuff. hehe.

If I'm in "that state", and music+dancing alone can get me there, I can still enjoy that for what it is. What I can't "not hear" is when the timing is slipping when a DJ is mixing. I hear two shoes in a dryer much less these days, but I still hear bad timing sometimes because DJs that didn't grow up with vinyl can't hear when the phase is off slightly.

I like to do this.

No one can ever tell where the samples came from.

Reminds me of an Underworld gig at the Brixton Academy.

Kept repeating over and over again: "Back In Control Again, Back In Control Again".

This went on for about 2 hours and they weren't saying "Back In Control Again" at all.

I just thought they were. Lot of fun!

f**k knows what they were really saying.

Yes, the mind finds patterns for faces, and it finds them in sounds for words!

The best thing though is the Prisoner's Cinema, where patterns can be found in absolutely nothing at all. Sensory deprivation throws up all kinds of things. Altered States and all that.

Bit like Quantum Vacuum Fluctuation

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_fluctuation

Even the universe abhors a vaccum and makes things up, it would seem.
If particles didn't exist, God would have to invent them.

Loneliness can do strange things to the mind.

Nothing to see here, move along...

Is there a technical name for this? (Unintelligible lyrics)
