I'm a Tool fan and like the album 10,000 Days. Recently I found this out about a few songs on the album.
This is pretty cool.
By themselves, the songs seem completely different: "10,000 Days" (11:13) is a
long prog-rock number, "Wings for Marie" (6:11) is a quiet song that builds up
into a crescendo, and "Viginti Tres" (5:02) is just a bunch of weird noises.
6:11 plus 5:02 adds up to 11:13 -- that's because you're supposed to put
"Viginti Tres" and "Wings for Marie" together (in that order) and play them at
the same time as "10,000 Days."Check these out. Watch the 1st video first. Then
stop it after the 5:03 is up from the first song. Then click on the second link.
Also, if the videos don't load at the same time, make sure both videos are
starting at the same time:

Some of the parts match up pretty well (the first track would probably match up with any Tool track), but during the second song there are some parts that are completely off, even some keys that dont match. I guess its possible (that is was intentional), but it's probably a coincidence.
Remember, Maynard has stated before that people often over-analyze the compexity in their music.
