Back-Masked Messages

<< < (2/2)

KharBevNor:
My favourite method of masking hidden messages isn't back-masking, but beep-mapping*, a technique I believe Aphex Twin has used as well? My track 'Neurological Clock' is a bit of a double whammy, as it has a long back-masked quote from Focault's Pendulum' by Umberto Eco and a beep-map of a picture of a dissected human brain. The original (sub-demo) version of Empire of the Daleks also had a beep-map of a picture of the original Dalek emperor incorporated into it. I think large-scale use of back-masking etc. only works for certain moods (mainly, indeed, creepy ones).


*I'm using the wrong word for this I know, but it's what the filter I use to do it's called. It's when you generate a seemingly random, often creepy series of sounds by interpreting a picture as a musical score.

Michael by Franz Ferdinand - after the first chorus there's a swooshy noise which is "Call your mother, she's worried about you" backwards.


--- Quote from: franzferdinand.org ---The recording of the album, and 'Michael' in particular took place on Bob's birthday. Being holed up in Sweden, miles from home, makes the meaning obvious...  Bob! Call your mother, she's worried about you!
--- End quote ---


That's the only one I can think of at the moment, though they've apparently put another backwards message on the new album.

Isn't it true that if you backmask Juke Joint Jezebel by KMFDM you get a completely new song?
