Perpetual Motion



Filmmaker Nick Cobby and musician Max Cooper made a music video about how people are constantly moving in pursuit of something or other. You can read the artists' statements about the project at the vimeo page. The video is made from artistically enhanced drone footage taken above Mexico City. At first, I thought the artistic enhancements included the pink cars, because I could not believe any place has that many pink cars. Then I looked it up, and taxis in Mexico have been pink since 2014! Anyhow, the video is mesmerizing. -via Laughing Squid

Interesting test. I scored 75% overall. If we weren't allowed to replay the sounds, I probably would've scored much lower. It took a few listens for some of them before I figured out the pattern.

I too got 95% - it's all to do with narrowing your choices from the ones given. I can't remember the one I got wrong, but there were quite a few I had to replay the sound on before I felt confident enough to click.
Still - good fun.

I don't know, I'd rather not do this. My synaesthesia is feeling a lot more restricted than it was before, but I feel that it will be worse if I try to match my synaesthesia, or use to think like, a certain person's own opinion of these sensations.

I don't think it's really synesthesia-based, nach. The symbols only really represent things like the pitch of the phrase (an upward arrow as the pitch rises) or two sounds played together (two symbols overlapping). To base such a test on synesthesia would be next to impossible, as it would be different for everyone.

I got a 90, but seeing as Frank is the only one who scored lower than what is considered "high-normal," I'm thinking this thing might not be as hard as it says it is.

I got 95...

Bean, it only matters if you actually are synesthetic, which I sort of doubt you are... the symbols don't have to match the music, you just have to remember that each symbol represents a different melody...and varies each time. It doesn't matter if they "match" or not. After all, for most of us, no melody sounds square...or triangular.

I didn't really understand it. Were we meant to match the music to the symbols using logic, or our instincts, or just what we thought best represented it? This is kind of like the scoring they use for experimentalism, but really basic. I didn't finish the test in the end, it just got on my nerves (and I'm usually really good at music... )

Let's see: for the scoring there's three categories that basically mean GREAT, one for NORMAL, and one for GOOD TRY.

Wouldn't want anyone to feel bad for scoring poorly on an abstract internet test.
