Click on the link. When you get to the site, make sure your sound is turned up, click on the horses one at a time, you will get it once it starts. Click on a horse to start him, click again to shut it off, get all four going at once.  Create your own way of doing it. Great stress reliever.

This is an excellent illustration of what we sound guys call "layering" of sound.  There are two ways it's done.

The first is to build layers in the spectrum (working from bass to very high treble).  The second is to layer from background to foreground.

The spectrum approach is far more common, particularly in today's "wall of sound" music.  Most sound guys start with the kick drum and work up from there.  On top of the kick you add the bass, then the rhythm guitar.  In here is where most voices end up, along with lead (usually guitar or keyboards, but there are other instruments used for lead).  Crossing all of this are various parts of the typical drum set.  Sometimes, there are high instruments like flutes, and the very top ends up being the highest cymbals.

The background to foreground layering is used a lot in television, where there may be sound effects layers, music layers, and narative or dialog layers.  Done well, this is really nice.  Many PBS productions do an excellent job with this layering.

Unfortulnately, with the proliferation of television staions resulting from cable and satellite, I believe television sound has become absolutely terrible.  Excessive compression (which makes music volumes jump when dialog pauses), music that is too loud to let you hear the dialog, and volumes that are often so high they are distorted from the station just drive me crazy.  In addition, when volume varies greatly from one station to another or from program to commercial (or even between commercials) just convinces me of one thing...Television people only notice the sound when it is missing.

No, I'm not.  But, I guess it does require a good deal of stretch to connect them... :confused:
