Iron Maiden's "The Number of the Beast" compressed over and over as an mp3 666 times (2004)
If you have ever wondered what Iron Maiden's "The Number of the Beast" would sound like compressed over and over as an mp3 666 times...here's your chance..and if u r wondering, YES it does lose quality each time it is compressed. ........ps - If u like this project, don't forget to study up on your old school and check out Alvin Lucier's I am Sitting in a Room.
This was done by a small perl script which uses the program "lame" to encode the mp3, and the "normalize" program to make sure we don't loose volume during the 100's of encodings. Download the script here.
