Why is track 36 so weird?
It is easier to understand it if you listen to it three times back to back: using a right earphone or speaker first, then the left, followed by both. It will all make sense on third playback as you listen across both conversations simultaneously. Harry wanted to create a weird effect by doing this and experiments undertaken showed that listeners concentrated more and got more out of the material by doing so. But there was another fundamental reason. He wanted to simply demonstrate that two actual realities could be played and in theory ‘live’ side-by-side, across actual space/time.
