My buddy Hrafn over at Think Artificial found this fantastic audio recording that sounds exactly like you’re getting a haircut. I thought it was so cool that I had to do some research.
These are called Holophonic sounds and are made to be listened to with headphones. They are recorded with a dummy head that has two microphones, one in each ear. The shape of the head and ears must be similar to a human head.

I’ve heard the virtual haircut. I think its really cool. Can someone please tell me how and where i can download the other holophonic sounds. I can see it on the site but seems impossible to download it.
that was really cool it was really weird to
ok that womens voice gave me a chill..and then the virtual haircut…wow those are amazing and i would never think of doing such an awesome thing..wow great job! (:
Could you please put the files up as .mp3 ?
I’ve now uploaded the files. They are Zipped because if I put MP3s up they automatically convert into players. This should allow people to download them and listen to them on an iPod or whatever.

anyone know where I can find any more?
