VARIOUS THINGS HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME

A whole Dragonforce album at the same time. A whole Dream Theater album at the same time. A whole Neutral Milk Hotel album at the same time. A whole Megadeth album at the same time. Entire Ride the Lightning album at the same time. A whole Slayer album at the same time. A whole System of a Down album at the same time. (MLYT)
Now open them all in separate tabs and listen to all of them at the same time!

I'm really not sure what the point of this is. I mean, it's kind of interesting how each of the allatonce videos has its own "sound", but to my ear it's noise and not worth a second listen to any of them. Echoing Darth Fedor, YMMV.

The Megadeth just sounds sort of like My Bloody Valentine. But that shit is a message from Satan, I'm sure of it.

The ideal way to read The Terrible Secret of Animal Crossing is to have the every KK Slider song at once bit playing in the background looping as necessary, on very low volume at first but slowly increasing.

I can't take that much Dragonforce at once. It is powerful enough to shatter diamonds, the second hardest metal known to man (after Dragonforce).

I'm positive if you did this for St. Anger, it would improve it tenfold. But really, literally any sound would be an improvement on that album.

Neutral Milk Hotel all at the same time? Ouch. I like the band, a lot. But let's be honest: sometimes Magnum does get pretty screechy. Listening to it all at once might hurt.

I think I like these because doing something like this is so utterly pointless. I mean, I like the fact that someone did this. I'm not explaining this well. I think maybe it did something to my brain that I like. Am I sense?

The Slayer one is actually quite interesting. It's great just after the 3:30 mark, suddenly all the shorter tracks give way to Angel of Death. I find that beautifully metal. I didn't listen to any of the others. Wake me up when someone does Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass.

I had my PC volume set far, far too high for opening up the Slayer one. I feel a bit ill after sitting through about 30 seconds of the resultant cacophany.
In other words, two thumbs up!

On the neutral milk hotel one, I can definitely hear Untitled more than anything else. Bagpipes are able to blare over every other sound put together who woulda thunk?

ok ok so all the songs start at the same time and obviously end at different times due to their length. What would be even more fun would be to line them up, um, right justified? so they all end at the same time. BAM. It would start with one song, the longest one, then...

That might work, but you could also take the duration of the longest and time-stretch all the others so that there's never a moment when all the songs are playing together. That would truly sound awful/awesome depending on your point of view.

I sort of love this. It's really cool to hear which sounds come through over others. I've only listened to the Neutral Milk Hotel so far because that's what I know best of all the links. Hearing snippets of my favorite melodies peek through the noise is great.
sidereal: I'm with you on that. And I'm also with you on calling it right justifying, which is hilarious.

This makes me think of that Star Trek episode where Picard walks in on Data listening to 6 classical pieces at once. It sounds like chaos, and Picard asks Data to turn it off. Inquisitive, Data does turn off the music, and states that he can discern up to 10 different songs at the same time.
What I'm saying is, I'm not Data.

I feel like this tells me a lot about the style of an artist. For example, Dragonforce: LOUD! FAST!
Of course I got that from listening to the songs by themselves, but this experience made it very clear very fast.
Also I love your post title.

this is pretty neat. two things I find interesting:
Even at the beginning of these, there's an obvious difference in texture. Megadeth sounds nothing like Dragon Force.
There's a half to three quarters point in all of these where you start hearing a lot of song ends over each other, which is awesome, especially in Neutral Milk Hotel, where the mean song length is thick around 3 and half minutes. They all end with epics battling it out.

Also, as one of the YouTube commenters said, it is very Nasum-like.
ob: That is striking, partly because for some reason, I always think Raining Blood is "about as long" as Angel of Death. I think I'm equating epicness with length.

Haha, this is pretty great!
With "Dimitri Shostakovich: The Missing Symphony", V/VM did something similar to this a while ago. "The missing symphony was created by digitally uploading all fifteen of Dimitri Shostakovich's symphonies. The average length of each was worked out, all of the symphonies were stretched or compressed to the average length and then layered on top of each other, thus creating a missing symphony." You can listen to the first movement here, if you like.

My high school metalhead self spent so much time memorizing every note in Ride the Lightning that listening to this is making me physically dizzy since my poor brain is trying to pick it all apart all at once.

Wouldn't all at once be a single note of super volume? And they would all sound the same.
I bet if you did this with a Linkin Park album, it would sound like one song. Or at least the first :45 sec, since they use the same beat and tempo hook in every single one of their songs. Or at least their singles.

ob: That is striking, partly because for some reason, I always think Raining Blood is "about as long" as Angel of Death. I think I'm equating epicness with length.
Yeah. This happens all the time. Musical perception is a really interesting thing. 3:30 can feel very short or pretty long depending on a variety of factors all bound up in the umbrella term known as "musical material". Mostly this is about rate of harmonic change, but textural or timbral changes, amongst other things, affect this too. It can be a fun experiment to listen to a few things and try to guess how long each one is and see how close you are, or why you got it wrong. It's actually one of the coolest things about music and one that often gets overlooked. A good composer/song writer (or whatever you want to call them) can manipulate this to great effect.

Wow, I actually like these noises, and I went into it not wanting to like the concept at all. I'm so going to be downloading these and setting them aside for the next time I DJ a noise/experimental set. Some of these will mix right in with Merzbow, Halfer Trio or even some Nurse With Wound.
No, seriously. I actually like these noises, especially the Animal Crossing one. I want to hear that one on a really big sound system.

What these do is a raw mix, therefore drowning out everything in the clipping. I would like to know what these mixes would sound like with the end levels adjusted below clipping level. Because clipping sounds like clipping, mostly.

Hi it's me again. WHERE ARE THE NICKELBACK JOKES, PEOPLE?!?
Ok, go here and listen to the "Nickleback Trilogy." My friend layered three of their songs together and it's crazy how they all fit together because all their songs sound the same.

I find myself tempted to create A WHOLE ART OF NOISE ALBUM AT THE SAME TIME or A WHOLE APHEX TWIN ALBUM AT THE SAME TIME.
Or maybe A WHOLE SKINNY PUPPY ALBUM AT THE SAME TIME.
...in fact, I paused before submitting this comment to do so, using AoN's album In No Sense? Nonsense! as the subject. Albums with wide dynamic and tonal range are a lot more... interesting... than all these metal bands that make every song from the same textures.
Also, the aggregate of Aphex Twin's drukqs is still recognizably Aphex Twinny, even before half of the tracks cut out.

First impression:
Dragonforce sounds like a modem connecting, maybe 9600 having connectivity issues.
Neutral Milk Hotel sounds like one hell of a traffic jam on a cramped city street. Think 1970s NYC during a mid-summer black-out or any time of day in Bangalore.
System of Down sounds like fast forwarding through your brother's Rusted Root cassette to get to that Really Bad Ass Flute Solo!
Slayer sounds like standing next to the speaker at a Slayer concert.

> The ideal way to read The Terrible Secret of Animal Crossing is to have the every KK Slider song at once bit playing in the background looping as necessary, on very low volume at first but slowly increasing.
That is f***ing epic. I haven't even played Animal Crossing and my boggles about what is and is not real from that playthrough. It's like a kawaii The Prisoner.

Thank you, Dr-Baa, for the KK Slider link which prompted Drastic to post the Terrible Secret of Animal Crossing. And thank *you*, Drastic, for thus making me late to work.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and put Terrible Secret in long-term storage for my 6 year old son and 8 year old niece. They should be ready for it by the time they're 30.
