A re-upload of my contribution to the Spectral Show Room-series, which might serve as an autumnal interlude, that is; this mix has hit the surface to pave the way for what is to come, as it is about time that I sort out my Technics & once again dive into the ever-expanding sea of wax after having pushed that flashy red button. In other words: drop a tab & stay tuned!

A big thanks to Jonas Ton (https://soundcloud.com/d-zo) for digging up this otherwise lost treasure.

Spectral Show Room # 24

After founding it, then serving at the cultural institution of Gazette since 2006 on every position, turns in 2016 from listener to the other side, and gets now a new favourite point of view, from behind the decks. 
According to his mentions, that mesmerizing music exists in every genre, his approach is therefore playful and sinks deeply under your skin.
One of Gazette's latest residents, Darai Lama, dedicates us his blend of emotive electronics and filling selection of close contemporaries.

'The McGurk Effect' is a perceptual phenomenon that demonstrates an interaction between hearing and vision. This illusion occurs when the auditory component of one sound is paired with the visual component of another sound, leading to the perception of a third sound. The visual information a person gets from seeing changes changes the way they hear the sound.
People who are better at sensory integration have been shown to be more susceptible to the effect. Many people are affected differently by 'The McGurk Effect' based on many factors, brain damages or disorders.

As an example of said subject, the syllable /ba-ba/ is spoken over the lip movements of /ga-ga/, and the perception is of /da-da/. Originally it was believed that this resulted from the common phonetic and visual properties of /b/ and /g/. Though at least two types of illusion in response to incongruent audiovisual stimuli have been observed: fusions ('ba' auditory and 'ga' visual produce 'da') and combinations ('ga' auditory and 'ba' visual produce 'bga'). This is the brain's effort to provide the consciousness with its best guess about the incoming information. The information coming from the eyes and ears is contradictory, and in this instance, the eyes (visual information) have had a greater effect on the brain and thus the fusion and combination responses have been created.

'The McGurk Effect' is very robust; that is, knowledge about the phenomena seems to have little effect on one's perception of it. This is very different from certain optical illusions, which break down once one 'sees through' them. 

'The McGurk Effect' may have many influences in our everyday perception, and not merely limited to syllables; the effect can occur in whole worlds - a fact supported by another fact; that both hemispheres of our brains make a contribution to 'The McGurk Effect'. 

Such synaptic wirepullers of 'The McGurk Effect' as nearby described have displayed a developmental pattern that have increased throughout childhood and seems to be extending into adulthood, meaning:
Significance is not a necessary condition for a 'McGurk Effect' to occur, however, it does increase the strength of 'The McGurk Effect',
e.g.:
Knowing that the voice you hear is different from the face you see - even if different genders – doesn’t eliminate 'The McGurk Effect'. Also, 'The McGurk Effect' is stronger when the right side of the mouth is visible, 
i.e.:
While looking at oneself in the mirror and articulating visual stimuli while listening to another auditory stimulus, a strong 'McGurk Effect' can be observed. 
nb.:
Temporal synchrony is not necessary for 'The McGurk Effect' to be present. 
obs.:
In order for 'The McGurk Effect' to become insignificant, the listeners gaze must deviate from the speakers by at least 60 degrees, perhaps ideal around 90, plus a few feet.
'The McGurk Effect' works with perceivers of every language for which it has auditioned. 
ps.:
'The McGurk Effect' is still present in individuals with impaired hearing or using cochlear implants, although it is quite different in some aspects ...

But hey yea, really it's just us:
Comrades testing out altitudes;
Collaborating mediaters of the sounds
& the whatever flying outta here

Greetings fellow Earthling!

3rd-person biotechnograph cut-up, pasted, and edited by 1 person in a 2-dimensional space; reads throughout the 4th dimension:

An engine, in the following referred to by the term "N'djinn", is a machine designed to convert one form of energy into another.
In ultra-modern usage, N'djinn describes a device, akin to a steam engine as well as an internal combustion engine, that burn or otherwise consume fuel in order to perform, and this by way of thrust, thereby bestowing motion upon otherwise inert entities. Such entities are usually dispersed, but will have a strong tendency to unite due to the high-intensity exposure to (e)motion. Admittedly, the thrust-output emits the greatest amount of exhaustion because the method of producing thrust is directly related to the reproduction of sound. In other words, despite having a high level of endurance, N'djinn is not a perpetuum mobile.
Nevertheless, time is short, so to improve efficiency, the scope of N'djinn has increased, and so the rate at which N'djinn produces work. The higher forces and pressures created by these changes creates vibrations throughout an unknown universe. The operations brought about by N'djinn typically has a positive impact upon air quality and ambient sound levels. N'djinn can indeed also be understood as a thermoacoustic device that uses both low and high-amplitude sound waves to pump heat from one place to another, typically from vinyl via turntables and mixer through membranes; ultimately reaching the sensory organs of all entities exposed to these waves. In general, the thermoacoustics of N'djinn can be divided into captivated wave and travelling wave devices, i.e. recordings of and/or live performances. In either case N'djinn uses electrical energy to produce musical energy, usually through the interaction of magnetic fields and current-carrying conductors. Given that the majority of recordings utilized in both settings are defined by their rotation, N'djinn's speed is measured in revolutions per minute (RPM), while N'djinn's impact is measured in beats per minute (BPM). Regarding the case of sound levels, N'djinn's operation is always undertaken with respect to the sources of the system in question.

Yet N'djinn is a hybrid; not only a machine capable of setting things in motion, but also a genie capable of assuming human form and exercising supranatural influence over people.
The existence of N'djinn can be proven, even though arguments concerning the origin of N'djinn are beyond human comprehension.
The body encapsulating N'djinn must either be ethereal or made of solid material; if composed merely of the former, it would not able to do hard work, like carrying heavy records. If composed of the latter, it would be visible to any human with functional eyes.
Based on a so-called "modern" world-view, reinterpretated references to N'djinn as a microorganism in the grand scheme of things or an undetectable uncivilized person also occur.
The supernaturality of N'djinn does not mean it transcends nature, but that it might appear so in relation to the ordinary/everyday perception of nature. As an entity it is "natural" in the classical philosopical sense by consisting of an element, undergoing change and being bound in time and space. Thus it is not purely spiritual, but also physical in nature, being able to interact in a tactile manner with people and objects, and also subject to bodily sensations like sights and sounds. N'djinn supposedly comes from a sublunary realm, prone to reflection, however in equal measure related to the solar wind and may even appear - as an element of surprise - in mists or sandstorms.
