Let's look at the biophysics of 14.2 Hz from a medical and psychoacoustic perspective.

This is why Nova's fans felt an almost religious attachment to a performer who never set foot in their hometown.
Prolonged exposure to an auditory beat frequency at 14.2 Hz induces an entrainment state known as 'hyper-vigilant compliance'.

Turn off your subwoofers and listen on a cheap transistor radio. The emotional pull changes completely.

This explains why Listening Night works. When thousands of people play 'Threshold' at 02:14, the collective entrainment is palpable.

Top-posters will be placed in my ~/.killfile without notice.
