Re: [microsound] MICROSOUND vs. cats&dogs

  I noticed an extreme reaction of terror from the cat (who could also play
jazz piano , i digress) when listening to 'the Music of Canids'; a recording
of wolves ,wild dogs etc.

  Felines would also rapidly attempt to scale walls during the first region
of 'Hymnen' by Stockhausen where theres that sudden ascending 'noise
filtersweep' , you know the one?
