Binaural Beatz
The following song is weird. It’s based on something variously referred to as digital drugs, idosing, idoser, i-doser, binaural beats, etc…In the background there is a Binaural Beat supposed to arouse sexuality. A more familiar song structure is superimposed (created with Arturia Storm 3). More to come…
Listen on headphones, relax, turn down the lights, have no other distractions and the blend of frequencies will transport you elsewhere…Please comment on your experience.

The effect on the brainwaves depends on the difference in frequencies of each tone, for example, if 300 Hz was played in one ear and 310 in the other, then the Binaural beat would have a frequency of 10 Hz.
