Hmm... methinks my headphones must make the sound more obvious. Oh well.

So... no one can hear the hiss, then? Really, it's quite frustrating, because it makes an otherwise beautiful peace unlistenable for me...

Thoroughly enjoyable song, kudos to Dhsu... but I had one issue with it. This wasn't mentioned by any of the judges or djp, but I noticed an audible change in background noise throughout the piece. I listened using three different sets of headphones, and heard it all three times. Certain times in the piece there is an audible background hiss, whereas other times it dissapears. I notice it first 5 seconds in when the hiss mysteriously appears out of nowhere. It promptly disappears 9 seconds in, but reappears again at 14, dissapears at 16, returns at 20... etc. I don't hear this in any other music I've ever listened to on my computer, which leads me to believe it isn't a sound card issue, but if no one else noticed it... am I just going crazy? 'The Trial in Concert' by Spekkosaurus for instance has a slight hissish sound that is persistant throughout (probably because it's recorded live), and that's fine. 'Time's New Scar' by gutzalpus in comparison doesn't exhibit the hiss at all. This song seems to alternate back and forth, and it's a very distracting quality to an otherwise fantastic piece. Anyway, if this could be confirmed by anyone else, I would appreciate it... if not, maybe some explanation as to why it would be happening with this piece alone?
