Cat appears here, barely (thanks ISO 12800), listening to a few tracks from Arthouse Cafe (vol 2?)
At the two minute mark we see ‘anticipation’ (next song), and whilst the second harmonics of the pianoaccordian (?) are ‘all around’ (disturbs her a little, ‘ears’), by the time we get to Das Boot theme, we see the cat being uncomfortable… (it is an easy to skip track for this reason, clearly carrying some sub claustrophobia written into the music…); she licks foot to pass time until ‘pleasant music’ returns…
then we get to Suspiria, one of her favourites from this album (partly due to lots of ‘directional’ bells around the soundscape)…
The cat is appropriately focused, when called for…
the cutest thing she does is a chewing of the lips when she is listening seriously…
(she does that when trying to interpret newly introduced language and gestures too).
I admit the Panasonic GH5 (‘full manual’, -8dB internal microphone), handheld, is barely able to capture this footage.
Whilst the huge Rhode microphone attached to the camera certainly added to the weight, it was ‘unplugged’, and its only contribution to this footage is my need to ‘tilt up’ to counter balance.
sure, a BETTER RECORDING is possible, but …
here is my cat (Mike Hat) listening to a CD that is being given a reclock treatment on way to a NOS ladder DAC.
seriously- the cat only partakes when the audio is GOOD!
that spot she hasnt sat in for months, but magically is the stereo sweetspot in the room… (where as I am ‘back to the rear wall’ to sneakily record this)
