Speaker 1: Get in touch with technology with tex Stuff from Hastro
Speaker 1: dot com. Welcome to tex Stuff. I'm your host Jonathan Strickland.
Speaker 1: Today I wanted to explore a special kind of YouTube experience.
Speaker 1: It's something that's been growing steadily in popularity for a
Speaker 1: couple of years now. In fact, you could call it
Speaker 1: a legitimate phenomenon. It's a genre that defies easy description,
Speaker 1: though all of them have a shared goal to create
Speaker 1: a tingling sensation in the viewer. It's called a s
Speaker 1: m R. I spoke with the popular a s MR artist,
Speaker 1: Heather Feather, who helped me understand what this is all about.
Speaker 1: As OUR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response, and that
Speaker 1: doesn't really mean anything. It's just a fancy way of
Speaker 1: describing a sensation that some people get when they're exposed
Speaker 1: to auditory or visual stimuli. And this kind of it's
Speaker 1: called triggers when you hear the or see these things,
Speaker 1: and people can get triggered by tons of different things,
Speaker 1: and the triggers are very subjective. So some people are
Speaker 1: triggered by hair brushing or a soft voice or a whisper,
Speaker 1: or writing with chalk on a chalkboard, or watching someone
Speaker 1: do a task in a very meticulous and focused way.
Speaker 1: So what does that actually feel like? What is it
Speaker 1: like to experience a s MR Those really good chills
Speaker 1: you get when you get a haircut or someone traces
Speaker 1: your back with their finger, and a SMAR feels like
Speaker 1: that awesome feeling that that gives you. And it just
Speaker 1: happens when people hear something or see something in a
Speaker 1: certain way. It's really cool. I've watched a lot of
Speaker 1: a s MR videos and I'm led to the conclusion
Speaker 1: that I no longer experienced this particular phenomenon, but I
Speaker 1: do have distinct memories of feeling something similar when I
Speaker 1: was a kid, particularly after listening to a certain piece
Speaker 1: of music. I recall one section from Paul Dukas's The
Speaker 1: Sorcerer's Apprentice. It never failed to give me chills. But
Speaker 1: I didn't have a word for this sensation. It turns
Speaker 1: out I wasn't the only one struggling to put words
Speaker 1: to the feeling. Heather explains what it was like when
Speaker 1: she found out the tingles she felt weren't necessarily something
Speaker 1: other people felt. I had SMR in my whole life,
Speaker 1: and when I was little, very very little, I used
Speaker 1: to call it shocks, and I used to tell my
Speaker 1: mom I had shocks, and she didn't know what that meant.
Speaker 1: And I didn't know what that meant. When I got older,
Speaker 1: and I would go out with friends to a restaurant,
Speaker 1: let's say, and a waitress would have a really nice
Speaker 1: soft voice and say, hey, guys, what can I get you?
Speaker 1: I would say, my gosh, I love her voice. And
Speaker 1: my friends would go, oh, my gosh, you're so weird.
Speaker 1: And I realized that people didn't have it it was,
Speaker 1: but I wasn't ashamed of it. I just thought it
Speaker 1: was a quirk that I had. Like I like to
Speaker 1: eatch other cheese crewtons and dark chocolate. No one else
Speaker 1: likes to do that. It is something I like, So
Speaker 1: I figured it was something weird about me. Finding these
Speaker 1: sounds or sites these triggers can be exhausting. You might
Speaker 1: encounter something that sets you off purely by accident. There
Speaker 1: wasn't really a place to go to initiate the sensation.
Speaker 1: And then came YouTube and a whole new world opened
Speaker 1: up for people like Heather, though people who experienced the
Speaker 1: sensation weren't necessarily being catered to explicitly. In Heather's case,
Speaker 1: she found very different videos that set off her triggers.
Speaker 1: I used to search videos for these triggers, and a
Speaker 1: lot of the times they would be makeup tutorials, but
Speaker 1: they would also be fetish videos, because there's a fetish
Speaker 1: for everything, and there is a hair fetish and a
Speaker 1: nail fetish. So I would go onto these fetish videos
Speaker 1: and watch people tap their nails or brush their hair.
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, this is great, but I
Speaker 1: didn't love going to these videos because they had other
Speaker 1: things in them that I wasn't into. And then Heather
Speaker 1: made a discovery that literally changed her life. I found
Speaker 1: a nurse role play by gentle Whispering and I clicked
Speaker 1: it and I was gobsmacked because everything this woman was
Speaker 1: doing was triggering me. And I was like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is great. So I read her infobox on YouTube and
Speaker 1: she mentioned a SMR and I googled it and I
Speaker 1: was in it in a room with one of my
Speaker 1: friends and I yelled, this is me. And my friend
Speaker 1: was like, I don't understand why you're even saying like
Speaker 1: they did not. They did not understand at all. But
Speaker 1: I felt like I was like I found my people.
Speaker 1: It sounds dramatic, but it really was a euphoric moment.
Speaker 1: This odd but pleasant sensation might be caused by anything.
Speaker 1: For some people, it's a particular type of sound. For others,
Speaker 1: it's the sensation that a person is moving around you
Speaker 1: in real space while talking to you. It could be
Speaker 1: the way a person moves their hands as they speak.
Speaker 1: One trigger that seems particularly effective involves a close connection
Speaker 1: between the a s MR artist and the audience. Personal
Speaker 1: attention is a big trigger for a lot of people,
Speaker 1: myself included, And even though you're the person is not
Speaker 1: actually touching you or in front of you, it sort
Speaker 1: of feels like they are and that I don't know
Speaker 1: if it calls back to when you were a kid
Speaker 1: and you were getting attention from someone or not, or
Speaker 1: if it pulls on some nostalgic heartstring, but it really
Speaker 1: works for thousands and thousands of people, and even for
Speaker 1: people who don't experience a s MR like me, these
Speaker 1: videos have their uses. It turns out I'm not the
Speaker 1: only person who likes to watch a s m R
Speaker 1: video in order to unwind. I get a lot of
Speaker 1: messages and I think a lot of other ASIMER content
Speaker 1: creators do as well. From people who don't have a
Speaker 1: sm R whatsoever, but they like to play the videos
Speaker 1: to help them relax. Some of them play it to
Speaker 1: help them work. They play it as background noise, and
Speaker 1: a lot of gamers play as MR videos while they game,
Speaker 1: which I think is really interesting. For some reason, they
Speaker 1: say that it helps them focus on what they need
Speaker 1: to do. While I can't imagine wiping out the covenant
Speaker 1: in Halo or planning strategy in League of Legends while
Speaker 1: playing an a s m R video in the background,
Speaker 1: I do see how it helps players reach a zen
Speaker 1: like state. The videos tend towards the soothing, comforting spectrum.
Speaker 1: While some videos may get a little more surreal or
Speaker 1: abstract than others, they don't tend to be fast paced,
Speaker 1: action pack narratives. There are actually lots of different styles
Speaker 1: of videos. In some an artists might simply experiment with
Speaker 1: different sound and visual triggers with no narrative structure linking
Speaker 1: them together. Other videos will focus on a specific trigger
Speaker 1: and go for a marathon session. Each type of video
Speaker 1: requires a different approach when I film. If I'm doing
Speaker 1: a sound assortment, I'll just gather the props that I
Speaker 1: want to use and I'll sit in front of the camera. No,
Speaker 1: I'll just explore them and hang out with the viewer.
Speaker 1: But if I'm doing a role play, I'll think of
Speaker 1: the triggers that I want to incorporate, and then I
Speaker 1: build a story around it, and then I hunt for
Speaker 1: anything that I could enhance the story with. So I
Speaker 1: never just do the triggers that I want to incorporate.
Speaker 1: I'm always throwing in an extra voice someplace, or extra
Speaker 1: sound effects someplace and complicating my life. But I think
Speaker 1: that it helps the viewer become more immersed. Immersions really
Speaker 1: really important to me. UM. It's also why I'm starting
Speaker 1: to venture into virtual reality I SMAR. This quest for
Speaker 1: immersion has opened up some interesting opportunities, such as pairing
Speaker 1: the A S m R approach with devices like the
Speaker 1: Oculus Rift. It's another journey through tech for us. We're
Speaker 1: dabbling with a lot of new technology, UM, including spherical
Speaker 1: video sixty degree spherical video, and that's video that captures
Speaker 1: sixty degrees horizontally and vertically, and then putting it into
Speaker 1: a gaming engine like Unreal or Unity and trying to
Speaker 1: format it for use in a head mounted display like
Speaker 1: Oculus Rift or any of the other ones that might
Speaker 1: be coming out. My personal favorite a s MR videos
Speaker 1: are role plays. A role play is just what it
Speaker 1: sounds like. The artist takes on a role with you,
Speaker 1: the audience becoming part of a scene. Role Plays come
Speaker 1: in all sorts of flavors. I think haircuts are very popular,
Speaker 1: and I think that's because a lot of people can
Speaker 1: enjoy them even if they don't have a SMR. Their
Speaker 1: doctor role plays are very popular, and that might sound
Speaker 1: weird because no one likes to go to the doctor.
Speaker 1: But the doctor role plays how a lot of different
Speaker 1: triggers in them. There's a lot of personal tension. There's
Speaker 1: pointing to a chart, there's following a light. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of different things involved with them, and I think
Speaker 1: it makes them a versatile roleplay for people who have
Speaker 1: different triggers. It's one thing to imagine what a role
Speaker 1: play like this would be like and another thing to
Speaker 1: experience it. Heather is a generous artist and offered us
Speaker 1: some examples. This one is from her video titled a
Speaker 1: s MR Binaral Medical role Play A Snake Oil Salesman
Speaker 1: for Relaxation, and which Heather is playing a charlatan who
Speaker 1: makes some grandiose claims not to mention a geeky reference
Speaker 1: before I begin you treatment. I want to open up
Speaker 1: your energy using a therapeutic course technique from a spiritual
Speaker 1: mentor in Tagaba. So relax, okay, all you have to
Speaker 1: do he should stilly And while a simple role play
Speaker 1: might cover a visit to the barbershop or perhaps an
Speaker 1: eye exam, a few of them can get pretty complicated.
Speaker 1: Heather is known for pushing herself by incorporating multiple characters
Speaker 1: in a role play. She plays all of them, often
Speaker 1: appearing as two characters on screen simultaneously. It's not necessarily easy,
Speaker 1: and if you hit the camera it ruins everything and
Speaker 1: you have to redo it and it's terrible. Here's a
Speaker 1: quick excerpt from a barbershop roleplay featuring Heather as both
Speaker 1: herself and her goofy goth alter ego sister, dubbed Dark
Speaker 1: Feather by her fans. Nice thing about this is there.
Speaker 1: It's a cold daily because I went shopping for some
Speaker 1: striped sweaters. I love striped sweaters. The best time to
Speaker 1: wear striped sweaters all the time. One was the collar turtleneck.
Speaker 1: That's the kind because when wearing that one special so
Speaker 1: that's enough small talk. But how much work can an
Speaker 1: a SMR video really be? Well, it turns out, if
Speaker 1: you want to do it right, it can take a
Speaker 1: long time. For a sound slice, which is just usually audio,
Speaker 1: and it's a much shorter audio clip, that'll take a
Speaker 1: couple of hours, maybe five or six, maybe a little
Speaker 1: bit more, depending on what I'm doing. If I'm doing
Speaker 1: on a sound assortment, that would take probably around ten hours,
Speaker 1: maybe depending how many takes I have to do, and
Speaker 1: then a role play at least twenty hours, at least
Speaker 1: twenty hours, but sometimes they'll take weeks or even months
Speaker 1: to complete. Putting in that time requires a lot of dedication,
Speaker 1: and artists like Heather will often publish more than one
Speaker 1: video per week. Any setback could require several hours of
Speaker 1: work to set things right. So what sort of technology
Speaker 1: did Heather have when she decided to make our own videos?
Speaker 1: I was using a very old point and shoot camera
Speaker 1: that had a ton of white noise, and I was
Speaker 1: using seven cans of cat food to balance it on.
Speaker 1: I didn't have a tripod and that was it, and
Speaker 1: I used UM I think I was using a super
Speaker 1: old software from Adobe, but it was like seven point
Speaker 1: oh for Premiere, it was very old software to edit with,
Speaker 1: and I got a lot of feedback from people saying
Speaker 1: that they liked the videos, but the white noise was
Speaker 1: too much for them. So then I started exploring other
Speaker 1: audio options. While technique is at least as important as
Speaker 1: technology when trying to trigger an A S m R response,
Speaker 1: it certainly helps to have better gear. Here's what Heather
Speaker 1: uses to make videos today. Today, I'm using a three
Speaker 1: D O free Space Pro and a Zoom H four
Speaker 1: and as my recorder for that microphone, and I'm using
Speaker 1: the JVC a Ario HD camera um. I also sometimes,
Speaker 1: depending on the audio that I'm going for, we'll use
Speaker 1: an in ear binoral mic in addition to the three
Speaker 1: D O and sometimes I'll use the yetti that I'm
Speaker 1: talking to you on now. It just depends on the
Speaker 1: field that I'm going for with the audio. Those binaral
Speaker 1: mics play a big part in current A S MR productions.
Speaker 1: The binarial microphone is meant to mimic the way sound
Speaker 1: enters our ears. Ideally, listening to a recording made on
Speaker 1: a binaral mic makes it seem like you are actually
Speaker 1: in the same space as the A S mr Artist,
Speaker 1: and the mic comes with other benefits to the artist
Speaker 1: as well. It's opened up a lot of possibilities, especially
Speaker 1: with role playing in storytelling, because I can use this
Speaker 1: sound to create an atmosphere to immerse my viewer in,
Speaker 1: and it's it's really interesting. I can incorporate a ton
Speaker 1: of different sounds. And I can also use the mic
Speaker 1: itself as a prop to make sounds because the microphone
Speaker 1: that I use as ears, and I can use the
Speaker 1: ears and manipulate them to create sounds and it really
Speaker 1: sounds like I'm touching your ears, or I can breathe
Speaker 1: into them and it'll sound like I'm breathing right into
Speaker 1: your ears. And it's really cool, and it's a really
Speaker 1: neat kind of way to touch someone that I'm never
Speaker 1: actually touching. The traditional binaral microphones don't look like your
Speaker 1: average condenser or dynamic mike. They look well, they look
Speaker 1: like a mannequin head. You can even take the do
Speaker 1: it yourself approach. But neural mikes they typically used to
Speaker 1: have a dummy head that they would be placed in
Speaker 1: or built into, and that was too make it so
Speaker 1: that the sound sounded like it was traveling across you.
Speaker 1: Across your heads, called head shadowing. So if it would
Speaker 1: sound would go into one ear, you would also hear
Speaker 1: in your other ear a little bit, but it would
Speaker 1: be diminished and different. And using a dummy head is
Speaker 1: really hard to do, especially if you are a novice
Speaker 1: like me and you're making your own out of starro
Speaker 1: foam and stuffing it with things, and and you can't
Speaker 1: just use a star foam head. You have to give
Speaker 1: it weight because the human head has weight and thickness
Speaker 1: that sound moves past, so it travels through. So the
Speaker 1: microphone that I use doesn't have a dummy head, which
Speaker 1: is weird, and I think that people who have experienced
Speaker 1: with by neural microphones um sometimes question, well, hey, that
Speaker 1: can't be a real by neural microphone because it doesn't
Speaker 1: have a head. But the way that the three do
Speaker 1: is made is there's discs in it that position the
Speaker 1: mics so that they're like your ears, and then the
Speaker 1: ears themselves helped create that shape and give it that
Speaker 1: head shadowing without actually having to have the head there.
Speaker 1: It's really neat. As for editing, Heather's upgraded that as well.
Speaker 1: Now I'm using the Creative Cloud, the Adobe Creative Cloud
Speaker 1: and that has everything that has premiere pro and as
Speaker 1: after effects, so I incorporate both of those regularly into
Speaker 1: the videos, and there's humor is one of the qualities
Speaker 1: I find most appealing with a s MR videos. Since
Speaker 1: I don't personally experience this tingling sensation, I tend to
Speaker 1: focus more on the content of a video than the
Speaker 1: individual sounds. And let's face it, a role play video
Speaker 1: in which you're playing an important but ultimately passive art
Speaker 1: can feel a little silly, but some as MR artists
Speaker 1: embrace that and make it part of their presentation. That
Speaker 1: became clear when I asked Heather which videos she was
Speaker 1: most proud of. The ones that I'm most proud of
Speaker 1: are the ones that I've been most afraid to put out,
Speaker 1: like Candy Queen, which would probably not be a great
Speaker 1: introductory video, but um, I was very nervous about putting
Speaker 1: that out, and um the Sleep Police, the brain pause
Speaker 1: away after the battle, Uh, it's dangerous to go alone,
Speaker 1: the Video Game one. And I think the one that
Speaker 1: I'm most most proud of is the one that wasn't.
Speaker 1: It's not my most popular video whatsoever. It doesn't have
Speaker 1: the most views, but it was a story that I
Speaker 1: wrote specifically for my channel and drew little pictures too
Speaker 1: and created sound effects for and that one. Um, it's
Speaker 1: very dear to my heart, and it's actually we're working
Speaker 1: on making it into a children's book now, which is
Speaker 1: really cool that parents might one day be reading something
Speaker 1: that came from an Asmar channel to their children to
Speaker 1: help them sleep. Here's a quick listen to part of
Speaker 1: Heather's Sleep Police episode, in which he plays a helpful
Speaker 1: officer who assists you as you try to drift off
Speaker 1: into deep sleep. I've been doing this job for a
Speaker 1: long time, thousands of years, and sitting at a desk
Speaker 1: and filling at all those papers, huh, ten tho years
Speaker 1: of that will give you such a drank in the fact,
Speaker 1: have you been having a rough time too? That short
Speaker 1: excerpt is another example of how Heather likes to incorporate
Speaker 1: Easter eggs and her videos by mentioning or quoting the
Speaker 1: stuff she loves. If you listen to her videos carefully,
Speaker 1: you'll hear references to Disney films, science fiction, fantasy, song lyrics,
Speaker 1: and more. I don't think if any people get to
Speaker 1: interact with people and and just share things that they
Speaker 1: love all the time, and a summer videos let me
Speaker 1: do that. So I hide some lyrics that I like
Speaker 1: or shows that I loved when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: or like now in my videos, and when people catch
Speaker 1: those Easter eggs, it's kind of like, ah, I see
Speaker 1: you moment. You know, I get you, and I get
Speaker 1: to share that with people, and it's very important to
Speaker 1: me and it's very special to me. This brings us
Speaker 1: to another interesting fact about the a s MR movement.
Speaker 1: It's a real community. Artists collaborate with one another and
Speaker 1: interact with their fans. Fans spend time watching videos and
Speaker 1: making recommendations and requests. It's a community that's been growing
Speaker 1: steadily and yet is really close knit, even though there
Speaker 1: are thousands and thousands and hundreds of thousands of people
Speaker 1: in it now who are consumers and content creators. Everyone's
Speaker 1: very mostly everyone's very friendly and understanding and sympathetic with
Speaker 1: each other. And I think it's because every single person
Speaker 1: has felt like they were the only one who had
Speaker 1: a sm R at one point, and then you find
Speaker 1: this community who's making this stuff to make you feel
Speaker 1: that way, and it's kind of it's just an awesome feeling, engaging,
Speaker 1: in a creative activity can be really rewarding, but it
Speaker 1: also requires a lot of effort on the part of
Speaker 1: the artist. So I asked Heather where she finds the
Speaker 1: inspiration to make her videos. At this point, there is
Speaker 1: very little that doesn't inspire me. I'm inspired by a box,
Speaker 1: it can be agreekly bag. I'm inspired by other as
Speaker 1: artists all the time because they're always producing creative content
Speaker 1: and trying new things. Um, I'm inspired by television shows
Speaker 1: and commercial I'm inspired by commercials that make me mad. Um.
Speaker 1: I was um my snake my snake oil salesman roleplay
Speaker 1: that I did. I was inspired by eyelashed commercials, my
Speaker 1: scare commercials because I didn't like that they use policies
Speaker 1: and to see people in their commercials all the time. So, Um,
Speaker 1: Candy Queen came from just looking at candy and thinking
Speaker 1: I wanted to use candy in a video, and then
Speaker 1: I made a whole story around candy. Ask for which
Speaker 1: artists she finds inspiring. It might have been easier for
Speaker 1: her to name the ones who don't. It would certainly
Speaker 1: be a shorter list. Heather's not just a content creator,
Speaker 1: She's an avid consumer. If you want to check out
Speaker 1: the work of other people in a s m R.
Speaker 1: She's got some suggestions for you. They're all different and
Speaker 1: they all have something unique to offer. UM. Some people
Speaker 1: that I regularly go to it would be just a
Speaker 1: whispering guy a SMR requests Kiwi whispers are Daniela. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to keep it even with men and women. Uh
Speaker 1: A massage as Mr Gentle whispering, a mall visual sounds,
Speaker 1: calming escape I could. I think I'm subscribed to over
Speaker 1: four hundred a sm artists and that's for I didn't
Speaker 1: just subscribe to them to subscribe. I subscribe to them
Speaker 1: each for their own reason. And there's people of all
Speaker 1: ages from all over the world making these videos. If
Speaker 1: you like accents, you can find someone with an accent
Speaker 1: you like. UM, if you're more comfortable with someone older.
Speaker 1: There are lots of older people making videos and young
Speaker 1: people making videos, and it's really diverse and versatile, and
Speaker 1: it's I think that's part of what makes some of
Speaker 1: the sm R community kind of beautiful, because there's a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of people who are so different trying to
Speaker 1: do the same thing. And a s MR artists work
Speaker 1: relies heavily on creating interesting sounds, which prompted me to
Speaker 1: ask other if that meant she explored the world of
Speaker 1: sound and unusual ways. Does she test pretty much everything
Speaker 1: she comes into contact with to find out what kinds
Speaker 1: of sounds that might make That is my life now?
Speaker 1: That not even joking. Everywhere I go, I if i'm
Speaker 1: especially even a store, I'm picking up everything and holding
Speaker 1: it next to my ear. And a lot of times
Speaker 1: people will say, hey, I think I saw you, and
Speaker 1: they didn't see me. And but if you do see
Speaker 1: a girl that looks like me holding something next to
Speaker 1: her ear and tapping it in a store, that's probably me.
Speaker 1: It mortifies my family when we're out in public, especially
Speaker 1: my sister. She's seven years younger than me. I like
Speaker 1: to go shopping with her, um, and we've been in
Speaker 1: stories before when I picked stuff up and she'll just
Speaker 1: walk away from me, or yell at me or say
Speaker 1: something like wait till I'm out of the aisle before
Speaker 1: you do that, because I don't want to be seen
Speaker 1: with you. Um. One time, I was looking for teapots
Speaker 1: for an upcoming role play that I'm doing, and I
Speaker 1: wanted when musicle looking teapots, so I had her helping
Speaker 1: me and she was yelling across aisles is this whimsical
Speaker 1: enough for you? And it was. It's just so funny
Speaker 1: because she doesn't have it and she doesn't really understand it,
Speaker 1: but she tries to. And then when she tries to,
Speaker 1: she gets embarrassed by me and ends up leaving or
Speaker 1: yelling at me. And which of Heather's video should you
Speaker 1: watch first? If they were coming for the first time,
Speaker 1: I would suggest the cranial r of examination because that
Speaker 1: has a ton of different triggers in it, or any
Speaker 1: of the medical role plays, or just some sound assortments
Speaker 1: that they can the top ten triggers. I think that
Speaker 1: one is a really good one for people to have
Speaker 1: an introduction with. Let's say you're an a S M
Speaker 1: R addict, You've subscribed to dozens of artists, and you
Speaker 1: have a killer idea for the next tingle inducing video.
Speaker 1: What should you do next? I think it's really important
Speaker 1: to not invest a lot of money upfront into equipment.
Speaker 1: I would say to use what you have and get
Speaker 1: a feel for how difficult making videos can be. And
Speaker 1: if you find that you like it and you like
Speaker 1: the process and you enjoy that kind of tedious nature
Speaker 1: that comes with adjusting volume levels very meticulously. Then go
Speaker 1: into looking at other kinds of equipment. But for your
Speaker 1: own enjoyment, I would say to do what makes you happy.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about catering to requests in the beginning, or
Speaker 1: or trying to please everyone, because you can't. So do
Speaker 1: what makes you happy and enjoy it, because then you'll
Speaker 1: find people who enjoy what you do, and you'll have
Speaker 1: the audience that you want instead of kind of bending
Speaker 1: to everybody and trying to please everyone, and you'll burn
Speaker 1: out so fast. A SMR videos continue to grow in
Speaker 1: popularity and complexity. If you haven't checked one out, I
Speaker 1: recommend giving him a trin. To the uninitiated, they probably
Speaker 1: seem weird, perhaps even off putting, and the scientific community
Speaker 1: has little to say about the phenomena. It's a subjective experience.
Speaker 1: It's difficult and maybe even impossible to quantify, but that
Speaker 1: won't stop artists like Heather Feather from chasing the feeling
Speaker 1: and producing videos. You would like to learn more about
