What if the pieces are the same and start at different times?

    Okay, so, here me out.

    I ain’t no fancy neuroscience PHD major or nothin’, but…

    Back in the day I was really into the band Radiohead and I was smoking a lot of…well, let’s just say “the Devil’s Lettuce”.

    Radiohead released an album called Kid A and it was absolutely phenomenal. Well, sure as shit, someone on the internet found out something really interesting about that album. If you played two separate copies of that album from two different audio sources, and you started one copy precisely 17 seconds after the first, it would create some really trippy harmonic sounds and audio effects. It was dubbed Kid 17 by a small cadre of fans.

    I know this isn’t necessarily an answer to your question, but just a personal anecdote. I feel like it’s kind of relevant here.
