002 Research Subject Log 001

The subject exhibited symptoms of discomfort, irritation, nausea and vertigo.

Dr. D1RTY was able to play most of the tracks from the Dirty Creep Step demo for an unsuspecting listener. Each track was played one after another without interruption or discussion. The volume was too loud. Please note, the promotional video from youtube https://youtu.be/5FChowsctkg was playing on a loop as well.
The subject expressed enjoyment and admiration at first. However, after the fifth track from the demo the subject began to report discomfort. A combination of nausea and dizziness overcame the subject.
Dr. D1RTY believes that the rhythms, synthetic noise and sampled dialogue in combination with the flashing visuals of the promo video induced a dissonant effect in the subject. The nausea increased into vertigo until the subject requested to leave the room and lie down.
A debriefing did not occur. After lying on a sofa for 35 minutes the subject returned and could only state that "Your voodoo beats done grabbed hold of me." The Doctor did not attempt to correct the subject on the fundamental differences between Voodoo Beats and Creep Step.
Dr. D1RTY plans to investigate this phenomena further on larger groups of subjects.
