Missing Bass
The deep bass you feel here isn’t in the sound. We play only the upper harmonics of a low tone and high-pass away everything beneath them — so there is no energy at the fundamental — yet your brain reconstructs and hears the absent low pitch. A phantom bass, played on the home row.
Headphones required
Put on headphones, then hold the home-row keys A S D F G H J K to sound a slow chord of missing fundamentals. Nothing plays until you begin.
