Radiohead- Kid 17
 

You guys heard of this?
Supposedly if you play two copies of Kid A together 17 seconds apart it forms a completely new and completely trippy record.

I know somebody had posted an mp3 of it on here a long time ago.... but does anybody have one or know where I could download it?
Thanks

chyeah

I would like this, too.

Me three.

Why not rip the CD to your computer, then play the ripped version on one piece of software and the CD on another, starting one 17 seconds after the other?

Because I have better things to do than to cue all that up.

But you don't have better things to do than listen to Radiohead?

Nope, because they're awesome.

Appetite For Destruction !$)%*!_^!_^"":?../

It's a joke, isn't it ?

Theres some pretty cool sync ups, but mostly on Idoteque.

Because the mp3 version is properly mixed so that the beats don't get misaligned. I tried that method, and it was amazing, but having to start/stop/pause them to get them to sync up was a pain in the ass.

Uh, yeah, I posted about this on the other Radiohead thread last night, obviously I've "heard of it".

Can we please keep ONE fucking thread for things?

And if you play Kid A while watching
The Wiz, it syncs up perfectly to the onscreen action!:rolleyes:







C'mon, who would seriously believe Radiohead intended that a seventeen-second delay between two simultaneously-playing copies would compose an alternate album?

You kiddies have been hittin' the Robitussin-DM a little too hard again.

I know there's people that insist it's for real, that the drums are all on-beat and each musical phrase lasts seventeen seconds; I just think it's nonsense. People are embellishing because it does sound okay except for "Optimistic;" and how ironic it is that "Optimistic" sounds like shit when listened to in this manner.

I have been hitting the bong a little too hard. Which is good.. That is beside the point
I got them synced up once. I haven't been able to do right sense that night.
National Anthem sounds fucking epic anyway, but with Kid 17 it's just indescribable.

I heard that SAW II by AFX Twin sounds good if you play tracks simultaneously. And it is pretty good.
So, taking any type of drug will render you addicted and helpless, completely destroy your life, until eventually you overdose (invariably) in the junk-sick morning.

One can intermittently get nice effects when synchronizing just about anything "right." In many cases, you get an extra spark of melody and a sense of a fragmented polyrhythm. And everyone knows that if you cue two tracks playing together of the same music mere fractions of a second apart, on say, two separate tape decks, you get lots of cool-sounding, phasing, doppler-wave shifts. Thing is, much of Radiohead's later music is just suited to this type of thing a little moreso than a lot of other bands. That's about all that needs to be written about this.

charles ives was doing things like this in the early 20's. i think it was him that had two or more marching bands playing simultaneously but differently. his piece central park in the dark is great. it is supposed to be a representation of all of the sounds one can hear in central park in the dark.

i love the idea that if a musical idea is strong enough it can coexist with another similarly strong musical idea and really work. interdependent music! anthony braxton does stuff like this too.

If you play the song psychic hearts silmultenously it sounds like it is being sped up.
