The Most Hypnotizing Website Ever

coverpop.com — Definitely listen with speakers or headphones. The dots are arranged to trigger notes on a chromatic scale when they pass the line. How can something be so creepy yet so cool at the same time?

  • krazyjim, on 10/12/2007, -3/+72Some of these sound like they came straight from Aphex Twin tracks - awesome.
  • sldSquirrel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23Weird, I have the sudden urge to play Super Mario World :P
    • JoshuaGross, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I think he got paid off by Nintendo to do this. Everyone's thinking Mario now...

    How else do you listen to stuff on the computer?
    • Americruzan0, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20Well, some people(me) dont have sound on thier computers :(
    • Nobi-Wan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I meant that some people would be at work and couldn't listen with speakers. That's all.
  • jban4US, on 10/12/2007, -40/+5"Definitely listen with speakers or headphones."

    As opposed to listening telepathically.

    Dang, too slow, digg me down.
  • MosaicM, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25I could swear I've heard some of these sounds on Dr.Who, especially the start of #4
    • goatrandy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6+Digg for 'Who'...
    • bantamw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's cause the Radiophonic Workshop who did the music for Doctor Who used to use Analog Synths, of which is a rudimentary type - almost like some sort of oscillator.
  • zoransa, on 10/12/2007, -34/+5it hypnotizes users to click ads
    great tool I have to put it on my website
  • ChrisLowder, on 10/12/2007, -103/+1That was gay...
    • Koopa, on 10/21/2007, -6/+95"That was gay..."

      I didn't know websites could have sex with other websites, let alone have sex with other websites of the same gender.
    • defectDS, on 10/12/2007, -34/+4Sure, if you ignorantly wanna define being gay as having sex with the same gender pers... website.
    • hammydude, on 10/21/2007, -1/+37maybe he means happy gay?
    • EasY_TargeT, on 10/12/2007, -27/+2gay meaning lame?
    • mscnln, on 10/21/2007, -0/+27lame meaning unable to walk?
    • oogee, on 10/21/2007, -2/+16wait 'til my wife finds out I was looking at gay stuff @ 2 in the morning
  • unitethenations, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5"Var 5 - Chromatic 88 times" is much better
  • tolling, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1Yeah that was really something.
  • Tredici, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2I've seen hypnotizinger.
  • Phocion55, on 10/12/2007, -0/+32I need to play that on a big-screen projector during a meeting and then command everyone to give me a raise.....
    • gwinerreniwg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4New ringtone! Thanks for the idea.
  • bitt3n, on 10/12/2007, -1/+48sounds like a piano rolling down a hill.
  • Adabard, on 10/12/2007, -8/+5damn...My face kept getting closer and closer to the screen and didn't stop til my head hit the monitor...what a doofus :P
  • stalefries, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21For those who care, here's the book it's based on, Digital Harmony.

    http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Harmony-Complementarity-Music-Visual/dp/007070015X/sr=1-1/qid=1160274708/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-1614357-0945707?ie=UTF8&s=books
  • halosniper7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+31this explained dark matter to me...
  • stalefries, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2So which is your favorite one so far?
  • meez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16http://www.coverpop.com/whitney/index.php?var=v16

    I think I'm going to go insane :).
    • KingMoses, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I like that one better. More hypnotizing too, I'd say.
    • Nobi-Wan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The other one went slower so you could actually understand and listen to the individual sounds as they hit the line. This one would have been too fast and confusing.
  • darkwolfbc, on 11/03/2007, -1/+12Hypnotizing is right. I was staring at that page for about 30 minutes and didnt even know it. Kind of creepy in a way
  • RomeyRome, on 10/12/2007, -1/+63*****...I Just killed my cat.
  • wozley, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Omg. Where did the time ago?
  • RomeyRome, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Open it in 5+ windows at once...
  • KitchenDude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Chromatic - non primes sound chaotic. Love it!
    • pseudojd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7the shapes made by the primes make the baby jezus cry.
  • JavertHolmes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+54*Keeps waiting for the scary face/yelling to pop up full screen*
    • serra, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25Oh god, I know! Ever since that stupid thing came out, I can't ever go look at anything, since I'm afraid that it's always going to be that *****!
    • toxicredm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I never turn my speakers on (or if they are on I turn them off) when ever someone sends me something and says I have to turn my speakers on.
  • vhtrading, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9#16 rocks! The title of this is absolutely correct; it will hyponotize you into watching it. It's absolutely cool watching and listening to all the patterns until about 2-3 minutes it spirals down to a single spiraling line, whirs down like a machine slowly being turned off, and then... BAM! it starts over again;)
  • Mizzy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Wow that made me sick...
  • Thex1138, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Very theraputic...just stare at one of the patterns and let your mind drift...quite relaxing ;-)
    • Thex1138, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Number 10 from those 60's 70's Sci-Fi horror and space movies..
  • Avalontor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Wow, what's that like for you folks who aren't stoned?
    • perkonis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25Gives me a strange urge to find a bong.
    • Web_Weasel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14I give it 5 leaves!
    • zorpscorp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12*adds to list of things to do if ever on acid*
    • serra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I know, I was just thinking about how it would be so cool if I had some E!
    • Lutz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Dunno but Spiral equals time. Time equals PI equals Energy.
      Spiral and PI are forever?
    • technoravenx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0A wee bit late on the commentary, but I've been out of the scene since I hit that one decade that renders one immediately "too old" to get away with much.

      Anyway, it was definitely a good thing that I was not aware of the site many, many years ago when I (unknowingly) kept eating some really bad tasting fungi. Watching the colors and listening to the sounds would have caused me to spend my entire night vomiting on my keyboard. Not being able to sleep because the sugar plum fairy kept dancing on my head was bad enough...

      ALTHOUGH I do agree it would have been P E R F E C T with e.
  • tigerpaper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I think crazy dad should be the new GOD
  • serra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Cripes, 210 just gave me a headache, no *****. Other than that, these are amazing, and 88 is kick ass!
  • bennyboy371, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I swear "harmonics - 120 tines, reversed" was in Metroid Prime.
  • Avalontor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18I think #17 Hand Cranked is the best, if you crank it backwards you hear satanic verses.
  • hotbutteredhtml, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I swear this music was on Mr Rogers.
  • paulansorge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I really like number 17! The pretty sounds....


  • ShagNASTY, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is some cool stuff, good find.
  • iMatt711, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2#16 made me dizzy
    • adiggtion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yes definitely, avoid var 16 if you are epileptic at all. Whoa. :-)
  • popltree2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23must...kill...family...dog
  • hhOwArdrOarKk, on 10/12/2007, -7/+5I don't know what I've done, I was listening to the ***** site, and then 10 mins passed, and now I am looking around and my family is all dead. I don't remember what happened...I don't know what to do...I think it was me that did it. I think it was me.
  • southport, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nice effort.
  • choicetoes, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3I dugg this, but I HATE your title.
  • neomits, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!!

    http://www.r33b.net/
    • akinder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8YES!
      If only the Hypnotoad and the Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka could mate, they would be unstoppable
  • stalefries, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It's fun to "throw" the crank on the hand-cranked one, as it'll keep going a little bit and then slow down and eventually stop.
  • Justinguder2, on 10/12/2007, -17/+0that was retarded
  • Aerophire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9i love it when they combine to make a powerful chord hit.
    awesome.
  • kLacK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+410 minutes later I closed my eyes for a sec... and it came back!
  • ZaNkY, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3::Blink::

    ::Blink::
  • GrendelT, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12This is very hipnotyzing... but it's not *the* most hypnotizing.
    www.Zombo.com is right up there too.
    • GrendelT, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5A URL FTW:
      http://www.ZOMBO.com
    • adolfojp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10You can do anything at zombocom.
    • reva, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4yes! When I saw the story's headline, I was half-expecting it to take me to zombo
    • DavidDigg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2that's ***** hilarious
    • Otto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Yes, zombocom is way more hypnotizing.

      After all, at zombocom, the only limit is yourself. The infinite is possible at zombocom.
    • lcarsdeveloper, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Welcome to MindHead. Welcome to MindHead...WELCOME...to MindHead.
      (Bowfinger for the people who digg me down).
    • Nobi-Wan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Wasn't MindFu..I mean MindHead supposed to satirize Scientology in Hollywood? That movie was way ahead of it's time for the whole scientology mockery. Bowfinger is funnier now than it was when it first came out.
    • TychoZzyx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0No way. Variation 16 is far more hypnotizing than zombo.com. I tried zombo.com and it didn't cause me to contemplate the near infinate patterns in the colors. Just sit and listen to var. 16-Stereo 210.
  • electronicmaji, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2this is the super mario dungeon music...
  • XxN3RDC0R3xX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Those were the best three minutes of my life.
  • ahurt000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I think I heard the brown noise in there. Yup, I did...
    • dennisplucinik, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0lol...the only post which made me laugh.
