I am seeking a scientific explanation behind this phenomenon which is unprecedented to me.

I was performing a piece on a music keyboard. I was filming it with my phone’s camera as well as recording the sound via the keyboard’s built-in tool.

After reviewing the recordings, the film and the keyboard’s recording simultaneously stop emitting sound at the same exact millisecond.

This infuriated me quite a lot, but now it intrigues me. What happened there? I am willing ro provide more information if needed.

    Could it be a bug in a component used in universal sound drivers related to time?

    Or maybe a power surge that caused it in all devices at once? Were the devices connected in any way?

    Did the devices use any common software or OS?

    Were you blasted with radiation which caused a bunch of booleans to flip in all your devices?

      I don’t want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but those magnetic waves man, the government is onto something o_O

    How were you playing the sound? (What software)

    Was the phone plugged in @ the same time?

    If you repeat the setup/performance, does it stop again? If it was plugged into the mains like your keyboard, A transient voltage anomaly might be to blame?

      It’s an old Casio keyboard. The phone, a samsung, is not plugged to anything and was recording separately.

      I will try recording the exact song later and see if the issue persists.

          I think I have an idea now what the issue is?

          The keyboard stops recording after 4 minutes. So now, the trickier part is to explain the correlation between the keyboard and the phone. The abrupt stop of the keyboard’s recorder affects, in a yet inexplicable way, the phone’s camera.
