Somehow scored front-row seats at Milan Fashion Week. Celebrities surrounding me. Dead silence as the designer's final piece comes down the runway when—PRRRRRT—a barking spider announces its presence on the catwalk.

The model didn't break stride, but the designer later incorporated the sound into their next collection, calling it "the music of authentic humanity in a synthetic world." Most artistic barking spider moment ever.

Compare the sound with our listening shelf.
