Subject: entertaining and weird
Actually, when I saw this, I was suffering from a ruptured eardrum, which had been mis-diagnosed by an MD as something else. After watching this, I suspected my true condition, and went to a specialist for a 2nd opinion...and thanks to that, everything is now OK.
So, thank you, Prelinger Archives, for saving my left ear.
Subject: sights about sounds
Since they say you are free to re-use video montages found on this Archive - I think it would be neat to use some segments of this in a music video or other music-related visual project. There are various visual representations of sound waves which are suggestive of musical themes.
