RE: sonic viral infection

>>I recently attended an event where I was exposed to several verses of the “you are my hero” song.  Soon I realized that I had been infected and the viral nature of the song had taken hold. I kept playing in my mind and my stomach was upset.    Fortunately, a heavy dose of David Torn knocked it out.   I feel much better now ;-)

 

Have you recently experienced such sonic viruses?   What treatment worked for you? <<

 

thank f**k it's not just me..... sometimes the other half will look at me & ask what I'm thinking (as women often do), & she can't understand when I respond that I'm not "thinking" about anything but that there's a tune/noise/sound/sound-design-idea going around in my head & I'm sort of listening to it internally.

a side-effect of being mentally-wired-up like this is that one is susceptible to this kind of nuisance.... maybe a part of your subconscious musician's mind is trying to unravel whatever formula is at work within the poptastic creation one is being exposed to..... I know I do- I listen for harmonies & textures, like looking for the hidden ingredients in some nasty day-glo confectionery....

 

but the cure? drive it out with something completely the antithesis. as someone mentioned already, a blast of tool usually does the job.

 

unless the tune you have a problem with is by a perfect circle, of course.... :-)
