(2:35) This is an experiment in applied noise. Part of Radio's magic was always voices and sounds flying through the air, and sometimes they pick up audio flotsam that lends an effect of its own. I noticed this while working on pirate radio collected on the Internet Archive a few years ago, but the phenomenon of vast soundwaves colliding in the ionosphere, throwing off ozone and whatnot, it's like Synchronicity pooping out of the sky.
The noise here has been articulated a little. It's a recording of a shortwave broadcast. One version is reverbed-up, the other is split into two independent channels, for an attempt at stereo weirdness. The original track by the Doors is also in there. I actually put a little work into it, but it might be an Audio Fractal: too much like itself to be anything else. It happens from time to time. You might hear more on headphones.
