It always amazes me that sound has amplitudes and frequencies that can be processed via computer and appreciated by some means of visualization. Seeing that MatLab can turn music into matrices led me to imagine all the wonderful possibilities that can arise for an audiophile like myself.  It could be used to more specifically analyze how much humans can tell the difference between lossless and near lossless audio.

How to Say Faraz Yashar

Briefly: fu-rawz yah-shar.

Faraz (Persian: فراز; preferred pronunciation /fʌˈrɔːz/ fu-rawz; proper pronunciation /fæˈrɔːz/ fa-rawz); Yashar (Hebrew: ישר; pronunciation: /jɑːˈʃɑr/, yah-shar). See Wikipedia's English IPA key and pronunciation respelling key for information regarding the pronunciation representations used here.

Non-Persian speakers frequently mispronounce the "ar" of Faraz (a-"r" /æˈr/), which occurs at the transition from the first to second syllable. These mispronunciations vary greatly, and many sound ugly. As such, I prefer people to mispronounce my name as I like it: fu-rawz.

A Nonsense Bio

I was a sperm and egg, then I was a zygote. Before you knew it I was a freshly hatched fetus, and by the magic of nature, I grew into a dude after many years.
