Epilepsy (and then only the photoreactive type) can only be triggered by light, not sound. Also the statistical chance of having 6 photosensitive epileptics in the same room is practically nil.
Sounds like a rumour sorry.

There is a song on Drukqs where in the end Richard starts screwing around with the sounds (he always is screwing around with the sounds but not in this way). I don't know which one by heart but I will find out. He cuts all the sounds up and makes a eum... strobe effect only with sounds pfff... donno how to explain. I will find the song and you can judge for yourself.

Yeah, that could be the one. He starts messing around and creates very fast repetitive sounds with pauzes (silences). If you play that hard on you earphones you get weird in you head. I LIKE IT! :D

seeing how epilepsy 'attacks' are caused by light and color patterns, not sounds, id have to say your friend is full of crap.

Epilepsi attacks are caused by shortsircuit of parts of the brain and can be ellicited by flasing lights and colour patterns. Why the fuck should it be impossible for sound patterns to have the same effect.

trust me genius, it just is. i have mild epilepsy, i had a 'fit' when i played sonic the hedgehog 2 for saga genises the first time.
sounds can NOT give you a 'fit' they CAN get your adreniline pumping though. maybe this guy's, friend's , sister is too fragile and passed out from overstimulation, but i was NOT epilepsy

"He cuts all the sounds up and makes a eum... strobe effect only with sounds pfff..."
Yeah! I love that bit, I listened to it with headphones in a dark room at the computer and tipped my head back and it had a weird effect. I can't imagine what that would do if it was played live.

Whoa... I was just sitting in a darkened room, the only light source being my computer running "Geiss" on my 22" monitor. I listened to Cock 10 and 54 Cymru Beats facing away from the monitor.
In the quiet bits there was little or no wave so the room went nearly pitch black, but in the frantic bits the walls lit up different colours and shadows shifted.
In each pause I could feel myself slipping into torpor, but then was brought back by the lights and sound.
I can't wait for my copy of drukqs to arrive so I can try this on other tracks.
I'm also considering buying two variable speed strobes and putting a red filter on one and a yellow on the other then having them out of phase at different speed. With no other light in the room and closing my eyes there'd be a brain machine affect like at the drukqs listening party. Wild. Has anyone else tried a setup like this, if so what?

Just consider something like synesthesia. A disorder RDJ is rumoured to have where your senses are mixed (see a colour with a particulair sound or smell for example). I fsomething like this can take place then (I think) sounds could also cause a fit.

Anyone know of any *cheap* strobes that can be linked to an audio out to flash in time to a beat? It would be great to have a UV strobe in time to the rdJ album in a normal lit room.

sounds can cause colours to be thought about, hence sounds can cause images.
what do you think of when you hear a "moooooo" sounds.
I think of cows, my mother thinks of milk, my father thinks of hooves and my sister thinks of telescopes.

isnt epilepsy just some like low threshold thing. Ie if anyone went sleep deprived they would eventually fit. but epilleptics have like a lower threshold (which can be set off by strobes) but can also be set off by strees and shit - and so St. Mt Mix with nice closed hedphonz and shit could make someone go quitemental. Me : i like it .. i love it - it reallyfucks with your head.

Are you sure you're not thinking of Ventolin, which is based on the noise you hear when you have an asthma attack??

no ventolin is noisy and annoying .-- but mt. st. michel etc.. has got like doppler shit going on - frequency (not in terms of pitch)

Fuck epilepsy.
The end of St. Michael's Mt. nearly gives me a heart attack whenever I listen to it.
Ah well. Small price to pay.

Ceri Charlton is right. my cousin has it. you don't react to sound, only light an other chemical factors that happen in the brain, that are usually controlled by meds.
