  >> "Pareidolia (/ˌpærɪˈdoʊliə, ˌpɛər-/;[1] also US: /ˌpɛəraɪ-/)[2] is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one detects an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none. Pareidolia is a type of apophenia."

  I began to roll my eyes while reading this. For anyone that does any composing and has understanding of arpeggios and scales, you'll know that there are thousands of works including your own using these musical devices to create "peaks and valleys."

  After actually seeing the midi structure, I have to say that it is pretty cool. Mystical, probably not, but certainly interesting.
