Under the Influence

I had a tense conversation with my line manager at The Company this morning. Apparently, there's concern from an executive in R&D that I'm devoting too much time to the white noise recordings. Indeed, it's interesting to gain a sense of which frequency triggers what type of cognitive/somatic response. We've been able to locate stimuli from 26.4 kHz to 21.3 khz that trigger hallucinogenic and lucid dreaming response. They're partially satisfied with these results, yet they prefer that I focus on the more dissonant spectrum of sound, and thus a similar spectrum of emotions. Yet, I believe dismantling the white noise is more valuable in the long-term to understand the environmental effects of these landscapes of frequencies on those subjects under their influence -- across the city, in suburbs, schools, factories, shopping malls and in agrarian areas.
