I started off this project with the recording that I would loop. The most important part of ‘Anthem Part 2’ by Blink 182 is the first 8 seconds. Those first two cords get the listener pumped and ready for the rest of the song. It creates an anxiety and longer to hear the next verse. but what if it never came? What if you were stuck in this loop of the song forever? (Honestly, I would probably throw my computer at some part)

I played around with the timing of the song and the left-right speaker set up to throw off the listeners hearing even more, in order to create this sense of time shifting. Not only was there feedback, echo, and delay, but if you listen to it on stereo, the binaural timing of each ear is also completely different. I also played around with a frequency shift in order to pronounce the amount of echo there was. Parts of the MAX code are specifically timed, while others are easily adjusted and played with throughout the piece. Here is the sound of the result:
