The Mind Electric: MIDI Auditory Illusion (Wacky)

Somehow, no one had thought to make TME a MIDI, and to upload it here, so there we go. Try and see if you can hear Joe's voice both forwards AND backwards, if at all. (Surprisingly, the effect is really strong, since I could hear it really backwards, forwards, and pitched (Joe's voice pitched down to his normal tone, somehow heard in MIDI form.) Have fun, ALSO,
Did you know: MacBooks CANT RECORD AUDIO. Yeah, I got out OBS, and guess what, it was silent! So guess what I had to do. Let me just run you down the whole journey. FIRST, I got, obviously, MIDITrail, to visualise and run the MIDI file. I recorded it, and lo, the ghost of audio ages thought to be dead: WAS DEAD. Absolute silence, SO, I converted the MIDI back to an MP3, through very dubious means that have sufficiently terrified me, and had to SYNC IT WITH THE VIDEO, in my so-so editing software (Shotcut, more like, get shot.) So guess what, the audio and the video are slightly mis-aligned, ALL BECAUSE Steve Jobs couldn't handle the thought that people might want to record audio on their computers. Thanks, Steve.
(In matters of consequence, this is that which is that which is.)

I couldn't;t perceive the illusion, until the last 6th segment of the song. However, I think, if I weren't already very familiar with the song, I'd not be able to interpret anything intelligible, from the illusion.

I think the reason I can hear the lyrics is because my mind plays around and knows the words so I think I hear them but they're not really there. But during the serfs part it really did sound like the piano was talking.
