Exploding skulls are beyond the realm of practical possibility, but there is plenty of mischief to be done through the medium of sound.
Dear Evil Engineer,
On account of a particularly contrived origin story involving a marching band, an unrequited love and traumatic public humiliation, I emerged as a villain who commits crimes using music. I have made a lucrative career, taking contracts to provide loud, aggravating, looped music for enhanced interrogation operations.
I’m interested in diversifying my business; playing songs from children’s television at captives until they beg for mercy lost its novelty long ago. Could you suggest any ways of causing physical – rather than just psychological – injury through the audio medium?
Yours,
A musical villain
