So the Gestalt psychologists would have it that we perceive melody in the foreground while consigning less prominent groups of notes to the background [Dr Doug Mahar, HFN July '08]. This led to a concentrated evening's listening while I closed my eyes and allowed my brain free rein to see if the result would be a greater holographic soundstage before me. I am afraid that I have to report that the results were disappointing, though my brain was never my greatest asset. Still, one thing I do know: a vibrating string does not double its frequency when doubled in length - as the article states - but halves it! Keep up the great work.
