Music for the Deaf

Inventor

I just bought the Tommy album by The Who on iTunes. You know, "That deaf, dumb, and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball." It's all about Tommy who is this deaf kid who is a pinball champion and lots of other stuff. Anyway I have this chat friend who is nearly deaf and I thought it would be cool to ChucK up some stuff that a deaf or nearly deaf person could enjoy.

The completely deaf could appreciate it by feeling a woofer, and a nearly deaf person could hear it. "i can hear drums, guitar, keyboarding" is a chat quote.

So calling all ChucKists, let's make some "music for the deaf"...

I think I'll start with kijjaz's Thunder, which sounds like Dinosaur Footsteps...

OK I mixed a toned down version of the UFO song from Close Encounters, the movie, with kijjaz's thunder (which sounds like dinosaur footsteps). Here it is...

Oops that didn't record as well as I thought it did, oh well... Just experimenting here...

Well that last one sounded horrible but might "feel" nice to the hands because it saturates the audio. Here's a smoother one...

This really sounds like a very good project. I am really glad to hear about this. I'll try to contribute as soon as possible. I'd like to try setting up a stereo sub-woofer.

(2.0 = stereo, 2.1 = stereo + sub woofer, so i'm gonna do... err.. 0.2 ?)
