Yowies & music. A concept/theory.
Posted: Wed Jul 14, 2010 4:58 am
Weird topic title I know, but bear with me on this one.
I've read a few reports of where music/whistling songs has attracted them in the past. So, my question is this: what, well, is the best music to attract/entice them.
I was thinking about the whole "communication" thing and the pitch/tone/frequency - and if/when I get the chance, i'd like to test out a theory. I use a lot of programs to manipulate sounds/make my own music, etc - and I was thinking randomly: I wonder how electronica would affect them. The reason being most electronica songs tends to alternate in pitch/tone/frequency at intervals. So, in short, how would that affect the Yowie itself?
Its that or make a "mixtape" of random songs, put the CD player or whatever out where Yowies are regularly spotted/lots of sightings have occurred, sit back and listen to the music (of course it'd be off in the bush somewhere, and a cheap one incase the old fella decides he doesn't like what he's hearing and destroys it totally), and see how/if the react to certain songs.
Example: 12 songs on a CD - our hairy friend goes nuts and destroys the CD player at track 4. We'd know what genre/type of music track 4 is, and know the pitch/tone/frequency of that song pisses them off royally. So, in a way, we're finding out what musical taste the Yowie has. Through a process of elimination, we'd eventually find out what doesn't make them angry, scares them off, etc; and begin to find the right sound that makes them curious, intrigued & somewhat less cautious. I know this may sound way far fetched, but it does make sense, as all animals react to sound(s). I know that death metal, or metal of any sort would anger them as its a-lot of, well, screams, growls and all around heaviness - which to the Yowie would perceive as a threat. There goes a cheap portable CD player. And here comes one annoyed Yowie.
Anyway, enough of this for now, i'd like to hear others thoughts on this.
