Another blast from the past, "Schizophrenia Simulator OST" is inspired by an ancient installation in Second Life (anyone here remember/still enjoy Second Life?). See, one of the things I was first introduced to in that particular "game"/metaverse was the Schizophrenia Simulator exhibit, which was made by some researchers into the illness to demonstrate what the subjective experience of suffering from the disorder was like.
@eikenberry nice. I discovered it in early 2006. Was covering GDC that year and they had a huge presence there. Meet a bunch of the principal people and see if the most popular content creators, went to their big party at the conference. I was pretty into it for a few months but I never really set down roots.
@etherdiver it paid for a good chunk of my college expenses and I learned a whole bunch, so it was a win for me. Still friends with some of the people I met.
@etherdiver
I'm glad it's still around. I think it got mentioned in articles about Zuckerburg's Metaverse. I have different preferences for how I spend my time, so don't look for me on either!
@jose_suweeet when I'm tired and/or very high, I sometimes perceive voices in running water! It's a pretty common hallucination/misperception,I think. Didn't know that about Conan, tho!
It made an impression on me! So much so that, years later, when I created a track full of creepy overlapping synth tones and intermittent garbled voices, my thought was, "Sounds like a soundtrack for that old Second Life schizophrenia exhibit..." and thus it was so!
In any case, it's a really slowly unfolding piece with a fair bit of subtle depth to it. Great for headphones!
