What did you think of the Maroons' horns? In the colonial period in Jamaica, there was a kind of tribe called the Maroons. And they used these horns, kind of ram's horns, called the abeng. And the abeng, so they used to communicate with each other using just blowing into this horn, this horn, kind of trumpet type sound. And so use it to communicate in the jungle over, you know, secretly or not so secretly. But what became apparent is that the English colonialists in Jamaica at that time were petrified by this high-pitched sound.
Because they didn't know what it was. And you know, they're in the jungle. They're from England. They're kind of out of their home turf. And not only that, but these devices were usually coupled with the planning of ambushes, where the Marines would, basically, early guerrilla warfare, they'd be camouflaged as a jungle, and then suddenly, like in the film Predator, like the famous sample from film Predator, the jungle would just come alive and take the English, the British so that's kind of an interesting example for the book because the book is about the way certain frequencies instill fear the way
it's kind of about uneasy listening or the way sounds used to create a bad vibe which is not something I'm always trying to do as a DJ or a musician but it's something I was kind of interested in theoretically Thank you.
