You should read the home page to really appreciate what's going on. It's an auditory illusion; like an M.C. Escher drawing for your ears.

It's not increasing at all. It goes up to a certain note then it starts over again. I haven't read the homepage, but I'm going to assume that's what it is. That's what it sounds like.

edit: I read it, and that seems to be what it's doing. Escher is much more enjoyable than that. Still, I'm an Escher fanboy so don't mind me. It was interesting.

Yep, just a looping trick with the three things. Whatever...

Douglas Adams used the same trick (but descending) in the radio version of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy when they were above Magrathea. There's a long note in the radio script, which I don't have access to right now.

It starts on C and moves up by half-steps (chromatic scale) and jumps down an octave at the highest Bb. Part of the time you have two pitches and part of the time you have three pitches.

Steve Miller did it in the intro to "Fly Like an Eagle" and The Who did it in "Teenage Wasteland."

That thing was pretty neat... I spent a while saying, okay, I should be able to hear it drop back... but it was sneaky.

The Who's "Teenage Wasteland" is actually called "Baba O'Riley."

Actually, the WAV is not the problem. Firefox ignores the {bgsound src=} tag, which is not in the HTML standard. Preventing websites from automatically playing crappy audio files when I enter them is one of my favorite things about Firefox.

yes it's a neat trick, although I don't really like the sound they used.
