Listening Diary: Change Not as Much as the Style of a Letter - Bull of Heaven (Day 4)

Today, the Bull was calm when I started the song up. I've decided to call this sort of energy I sense within the song "the Bull" because, well, Bull of Heaven. Also, since this is being played through my TV, I'm just kinda looking at the edited Minoan bull fresco every time I look at the screen. So, the Bull is the energy I feel in the song.

Yeah it's noticeably calmer today. The bass isn't as intense, but also the singing bowls aren't as present. There's no weird mechanical sound. There's still this sense of it being colossal in nature, but like, chill. Today it is chill. At least, where I'm at right now as I write this bit of exposition. I'm at the 8:45 mark roughly. The video itself is only like 11 hours, so honestly I might finish part one today and that excites me! I haven't done any crocheting today, rather I've been focusing on the paper I'm writing to pad out my grad school application as well as my magazine. You'll hear more about the magazine closer to when it launches, but I'm excited for that too.

10:40 mark, there's a sound kind of like a far away airplane.

I am now at the 11 hour mark, a few minutes into part 2! It's grown quieter. The airplane noise is still there and the mechanical sound came back briefly. Because I have made it to part two I have decided to call it quits for today.

11/386 hours, 375 hours to go

That's amazing, and it's nice that you actually managed to finish Part 1.

There's still a lot to go though, but that's nice. :)



One down, 35 to go!

Yeah, I haven't heard that there's even such an album like that to be honest.


And that's too much of Music, I can't even imagine how huge the File Size of the FLAC Audio Files of it would be or even let alone the Original WAV Audio Files. LOL XD

That's definitely gonna take up a huge chunk of an Hard Drive.

Its not even their worst one! Their song 310 is contained within thousands of .zip files within .zip files and has a total combined runtime of 3.343 quadrillion years! Their longest listenable one is roughly six months :)

I agree though, these audio files have GOT to be massive

Yikes, I wonder if whoever making these music ever got some time off. LOL XD


Or maybe this was done with AI or something.

That's absolutely crazy.

Its a bunch of audio layering, the guy behind the crazy runtimes passed away back in 2016, so no ai here. Bull of Heaven was a duo so its just the one guy now, and his style is more post-rock and acid-rock. But the two would record music and then mess with the audio files to make them crazy distorted, and then they would loop and layer it over and over again to create these really lengthy ambient noise pieces!

Hm, alright.... That's insane.

Sad to know one of them passed away and he may Rest In Peace and I'm sending condolences to his loved ones.


But yeah, I wonder how much Hard Drives they bought to make these projects because the Original WAV Audio Files for these would be absolutely humongous. LOL XD
