Kieran's Tape Exchange // NOVA HART

★ Hi

This page belongs to Kieran. Toronto. 23. Fan since 1988, when a pen pal in Hamburg changed my taste in music forever.

★ A Sceptic's Counter-Argument

I don't believe in ghosts in the machine. I do believe Orion is hiding something, because companies always are.

★ 14.2 Hz Signal Analysis & DSP

Ran Midnight Protocol (Part III: The Chorus) through a 27-point FFT on my 486. There's a line at 14.2 Hz, about 52 dB down. It's on every pressing I own.

 Frequency (Hz) | Level (dB) | Spectral Density [FFT 4096]
----------------+------------+--------------------------------
  10.0 Hz       |  -64 dB    | *
  14.2 Hz [PEAK]|  -42 dB    | ************************** [CARRIER]
  18.5 Hz       |  -68 dB    | *
  50/60 Hz      |  -52 dB    | ******* [MAINS HUM]

★ Favorite

Honestly? 'Midnight Protocol (Part III: The Chorus)'. It's the first one I heard, in 1988, and the first one I'd save from a fire.
