["Against my better judgement here... (as suggested by Belt and Machina Dynamica) the Clock does not effect the system, it effects how one responds to it - that is the system's "sound" does not change, only one's reaction to or the perception of the sound it is producing. The Clock effects the listener - the environment, though not in acoustical terms, but how we react to it."]This statement seems credible until the implication that the listening environment is effected. Don't you think it's more genuine to say, "The Clock effects the listener", period? For more clarity, you might say, it doesn't effect the environment but manifests an illusion for how we react to it.
