“Music touches us emotionally, where words alone can’t.”
— Johnny Depp
Join acclaimed musician and performer Chris Cyanide (of the Chris Cyanide Trio) for a fascinating deep dive into psychoacoustics — the mind-bending science of how we actually hear and experience sound.
Discover why your brain can hear bass that isn’t there, how loudness is mostly an illusion, why one sound can completely hide another, and how these strange quirks of perception shape everything from music and horror sound design to immersive live experiences.
Blending real science with the weird, creative, and slightly mad perspective only a shock-rock bass monster can deliver, this talk is perfect for musicians, sound lovers, artists, and anyone who’s ever wondered why certain sounds hit you right in the chest — or the spine.
