Superbay Entrance Exam

[davidn]

We're moving offices once again, but this time it's going to be a much more pleasant experience than last time, having only a couple of books, monitors and other bits and pieces to move down with us instead of years' worth of accumulated miscellany, and it's only down one floor. If anyone else is after a couple of desks in an open-plan office space around other companies, here are the apparent requirements to get in:

Tick all that apply:

I talk:

[ ] Constantly
[ ] Incessantly
[ ] Ceaselessly
[ ] All the time

My personal volume level can best be described as:

[ ] Loud
[ ] Very loud
[ ] Obnoxiously loud
[ ] Billy Mays

My ringtone is:

[ ] Awful
[ ] Irritating
[ ] Excruciating
[ ] Fatal

1 tick or more: Congratulations! You're in.

Even if you took a real vibraphone and layered effects upon it, it still ends up a synthetic sound. You cross that boundary long before you manage to transform a grand piano into a crazy distorted guitar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_the_Iron_Sea).

I have never in my life heard a distorted piano - that's certainly original :) And a more convincing electronic rhythm-ish sound than I ever achieved. The video for Is It Any Wonder brings back fond memories of Scalectrix.
