    Psapp: The Camel’s Back (2008)

    We are programmed to love small things. Babies and puppies and kittens and bite-size candies. It’s genetic. The smaller and sweeter the object, we large and lumbering human beasts fall to our knees in supplication, asking one of two questions: Can I take care of you? or Can I eat you?

    This also applies to small sounds. Ukuleles, glockenspiels, and celestes. The human ear hears tiny chime-like sounds and the instinct is to get down on the ground and roll around in the fetal position, weeping. It is scientific. In fact, when Psapp recorded “The Camel’s Back,” they consulted a scientist who specializes in macrosounds. The combination of celeste and kalimba you hear is engineered to send you back into bed, pulling the covers around your head so that you feel yourself ensconced in a large, fuzzy, cotton womb.
