Normal Reverse Speed - Judas Reverse @ 44100HZ
Slow Reverse Speed - Judas Reverse @ 22050HZ
Matlab Code
clear
clc
fileInput = 'jpforward.wav'; %Input file
origArray = wavread(fileInput); %Array containing input file
inputLength = length(origArray); %gets length of array
count = 1; %Initializes counter
for count = 1:inputLength; %Simply reverses the array using a loop
outputArray(inputLength - count + 1) = origArray(count);
end
%Sampling rates used: 44100HZ and 22050HZ
wavplay(outputArray, 44100); %Plays the sound file
wavplay(outputArray, 22050);
wavwrite(outputArray, 44100, 'Judas Reverse_44100HZ'); %Saves sound file
wavwrite(outputArray, 22050, 'Judas Reverse_22050HZ');
Results
This part of the homework was fairly straightforward. I chose to use two different sampling rates so that it could be listened to at different speeds.
It took me a long time to decipher what was actually being said in the song. But, it turns out that the singer says, "Beyond the realms of death" (when played forward). When the song is played in reverse, it sounds like he's saying, "I took my own life".
