Interesting videos about sounds and music

Thanks to all ...Thanks for your participation 8th-note...

Interesting choice of alias...

I tought that it will be interesting to propose to all the best documentaries short or long about sounds acoustic , psycho-acoustics, music exceptional videos ...

But not our taste in music first  as in many other threads but first a CONTENT...Nobody care about other musical taste... But we all care about the reason why we love music and good sounds...And the neurophisiology of acoustic perception for example interest me a lot and any exceptional musician life or abilities or survival history ...Or any information about instruments design... Any explanation about not well known styles, genres...Or aspects of musical history...

Wow, great thread! This should be a sticky.

One of my favorites documentaries is Tom Dowd & the Language of Music.

Why non-audiophiles don't like hi-fi audio sound?

There are natural sounds (human voice, dog barking, baby crying, water flowing, etc.) and unnatural sounds. Human can’t hear a natural and unnatural sounds together simultaneously. If they are presented at the same time, the human ears must choose one of them. Audiophiles can switch back and forth (extremely fast) between natural and unnatural sounds due to years of practice with their audio systems. However, most people (non-audiophiles) ears are almost in natural sound mode.

In below video, if I didn’t say "hello", you could hear both (L & R) speakers fine with automatic audiophile’s ear adjustment. But saying "hello" (natural sound) holds your ears to stay in a natural sound mode and you are hearing what non-audiophiles hear.

The both speakers in videos were same sounding speakers. The right speaker is converted to a natural sound speaker by me. The left speaker is untouched. Almost all speakers (include $million speakers) in the world sound/behave like the left speaker.

@8th-note: Agreed, I have the Tom Dowd video on DVD. While his recorded sound quality isn’t in the top tier, he worked with producer Jerry Wexler on some of my favorite albums. They include all the recordings the two made in Muscle Shoals for Atlantic Records (Wexler was the in-house producer for the label)---Aretha, Wilson Pickett, Dusty Springfield, Otis Redding, as well as the Derek & The Dominos album. Dowd had earlier been the recording engineer on a great many early R & B hits of the 50’s and 60’s, artists like Ray Charles and a lot of the vocal R & B groups. And as if that isn’t enough, he recorded some of the Jazz greats like Coltrane, Monk, and Charlie Parker.
