Hi Julf!

I've finally caught up with you - this is a very interesting concept.

The discussion at section 5.4 in the AES paper (& the accompanying Fig.
7) got me thinking that clock drift not captured by a jitter measurement
*-might-* be a rational explanation of the phenomenon that I am
(subjectively) experiencing...

Did some digging about & found a rather vitriolic thread at
Whatsbestforum.com but persevered through the flames & found this
https://phys.org/news/2013-02-human-fourier-uncertainty-principle.html
which also made an interesting read. Obviously it's fairly recent so
subject to further scientific scrutiny before it's likely to be widely
accepted.

If the results it reports can be replicated, it still begs the question
whether people are drawn to make music because they have highly
discriminatory hearing a priori or whether their musical journey enables
them to refine their hearing capabilities.

It was good to see that research is still continuing into the
peculiarities of the human hearing system which has almost certainly
received a fair bit of attention from natural selection in both our
species & doubtless in those from which we evolved in order to achieve
its current complex design.

Hope that you're having a pleasant weekend!

Dave :)
