>>I recently attended an event
where I was exposed to several verses of the “you are my hero” song. Soon
I realized that I had been infected and the viral nature of the song had taken
hold. I kept playing in my mind and my stomach was upset.
Fortunately, a heavy dose of David Torn knocked it out. I feel much
better now ;-)
Have you recently experienced such sonic viruses?
What treatment worked for you? <<
thank f**k it's not just
me..... sometimes the other half will look at me & ask what I'm thinking (as
women often do), & she can't understand when I respond that I'm not
"thinking" about anything but that there's a tune/noise/sound/sound-design-idea
going around in my head & I'm sort of listening to it
internally.
a side-effect of being
mentally-wired-up like this is that one is susceptible to this kind of
nuisance.... maybe a part of your subconscious musician's mind is trying to
unravel whatever formula is at work within the poptastic creation one is being
exposed to..... I know I do- I listen for harmonies & textures, like looking
for the hidden ingredients in some nasty day-glo
confectionery....
but the cure? drive it out
with something completely the antithesis. as someone mentioned already, a blast
of tool usually does the job.
unless the tune you have a
problem with is by a perfect circle, of course.... :-)
