Thanks, Carl... glad you enjoyed it. I'm not really certain why some of
these files are as different as they are, since some of our
knowledgables on the list feel they shouldn't be... maybe it's the
particular frequencies used?? Dunno.

To me also, it seems the mood swings significantly from example to
example depending, most probably, on the "beating." This is obviously
related to some of the discussions concerning the major and minor and
derivations from Otonal/Utonal... (And even Helmholtz's over-simplified
"happy-sad")
