Wanna Sip
"Wanna Sip" is a song by Fever Ray, an alias of Swedish musician Karin Dreijer. It was released on 23 January 2018 through Rabid Records as the second single from their second studio album, '' Plunge'' (2017), following the lead single " To the Moon and Back". Composition "Wanna Sip" is a dark, twisted number with hand claps flickering off a throbbing, uneasy bass beat. It features a use of rattling bells and Shepard tone that resembles the sound of fireworks. The song opens with the lyric "I wanna love you, but you're not making it easy", while an elongated, descending synth note spirals down the scale throughout the chorus. Rob Hakimian of '' The 405'' said the song is "livelier than anything heard from Fever Ray before, and slashed through with dive-bombing synths as she claims that her affection is "a toxic habit." Music video "Wanna Sip" was released as a single alongside its accompanying music video. The video was directed in Stockholm by Martin Falck, who directed all of t ...

Composition "To the Moon and Back" is a synth-pop and electropop song, with ''The A.V. Club'' noting that it is "way lighter than anything on her first album, landing closer to the chirping synth-pop of The Knife's '' Deep Cuts'' era than her self-titled debut's dark, frigid sound."

Shepard Tone
A Shepard tone, named after Roger Shepard, is a sound consisting of a superposition of sine waves separated by octaves. When played with the bass pitch of the tone moving upward or downward, it is referred to as the ''Shepard scale''. This creates the auditory illusion of a tone that seems to continually ascend or descend in pitch, yet which ultimately gets no higher or lower. Construction Each square in Figure 1 indicates a tone, with any set of squares in vertical alignment together making one Shepard tone. The color of each square indicates the loudness of the note, with purple being the quietest and green the loudest. Overlapping notes that play at the same time are exactly one octave apart, and each scale fades in and fades out so that hearing the beginning or end of any given scale is impossible. As a conceptual example of an ascending Shepard scale, the first tone could be an almost inaudible C4 (middle C) and a loud C5 (an octave higher). The next would be a slightly ...
