This is a test to see if the musician’s mind works in a similar fashion when analyzing regular language as it does when analyzing complex wave patterns, performing hyper-speedy logarithmic calculations, collapsing a mess of vibrations via Fourier analysis / Shenkerian reductionism on-the-fly, all while also in the midst of complex synchronous compression-wave generation (all together, commonly known as “being musical.”)

To test your own mental predisposition, quickly read through the follow text and see what message you come up with.  Do you think like a musician or not?

It’s pretty interesting – I’ve showed this to musicians and everyone gets it immediately.  In contrast, non-musicians have trouble at first, but eventually get it.
