This is an excerpt of the song “Nobody Likes Sad Songs”, which was performed and originally made famous by the (blind) musician Ronnie Milsap.
At the end of each phrase, there is a two-note (beatboxed) drum fill, consisting of some combination of hi-hat, woodblock, and kick, which have high-pitch, medium-pitch, and low-pitch timbres, respectively.
Transcribing the series of drums yields the following (with “X” indicating occurrences of the drum):
Hi-hat | X X X X X XX XX X |
---|---|
Block | X X XX XX X X X |
Kick | X X X XX X |
Hi-hat | X X X XX XX X X |
---|---|
Block | X X X XX X XX |
Kick | XX X X |
Interpreting the occurrence or absence of drums as encoding Braille
