toneshifting...

It's very cool stuff...definitely bringing out a unique feature of our
mind,
but you can't really shake your ass to it like you can with the Surgeon =]

this discussion is really beginning to tire me, but the following just
occurred to me:

when you reach a certain amount of feet under water, only a small portion
of the spectrum of light penetrates. effectively you can only physically
see black and white, because the other colors are not present.
nevertheless, you perceive color because your brain inserts color where
there is none in order to bring your environment more in line with what it
thinks it should be...

it seems plausible that toneshifting  is merely the audio equivalent of
this process. in a stark environment (in this case, with very few sounds,
rather than few colors) the brain attempts to insert melody because that is
what it thinks should be there. perhaps an effort to maintain balance or
status quo, familiarity, normalcy, etc.

blah, blah...
