Well very few people here know that I made ‘music’ these are more ambient tracks. These are produced with and meant to be listened on Headphones. Close your eyes sit back and relax to these tracks.

Recordings and transmissions from space wrapped around mind altering MKUltra frequencies and drone guitars. Cries from A Distant Galaxy gives you the feeling of floating in a distant nebula, surrounded by some unseen entity.

Interesting facts about this.
I did read a lot about MKUltra and their experiments with audio, what frequencies affect the mind the most. Hence why you need to listen to these on headphones.

Encrypted Transmission is a song that 90% of the audio is made with a childs guitar that I circuit bent.

Enjoy, this demo is Creative Commons, tell me what you think about this.

Here are a few real reviews.

“While closing my eyes, paying attention to my thoughts, and listening to Encrypted Transmission…I had images of Jesus looking like some kind of “spaghetti western” portrayal…playing a child’s toy guitar, like Kurt Cobain in a room that was light blue. The paint was peeling off the walls…the room seemed like it belonged in an abandoned house. The room was eerily light by sunlight coming through veil like material…”

“It made my head hurt”

“I like what you’re doing with my ears, don’t stop. I like it”

“Any chance we can play this on our broadcasts that are being played at the H.O.P.E. (hackers on planet earth) convention in New York? Kevin Mitnick’s going to be there - he may well get to hear your stuff!”

Have a listen and keep an open mind.

So recently me and my friend Nonconmat (nonconmat.blogspot.com) went and explored this abandoned mental institution. We parked the car in some brush and entered the compound. There was some cool stuff there I didn’t really get a picture of (128 XD memory card, damn you Fuji!). Found everything from a cafeteria to a morgue. Apparently a movie by the name “Return to Sender” was filmed there, or rather parts were.

Now this compound is next to another. Namely a small Juvenal hall detention center. So we had to be careful about where we went or being seen. We found that the building close to our entry point was still in use so we minimized all contact with it. As we went along we saw a red truck driving toward it, then a tractor leaving it. So I think that the building is actually more of a shed of sorts. A few times a car drove right next to the building we were in and we got way to close to the place in my opinion. We rounded the corner and found a chalk board that people like us had used to leave messages. Most consisted of emails and shout outs, but there were a few cool drawings.

We left our websites in the “guestbook” and left to explore some more. The building had tons of AV equipment and cat5 cables. Was this used to film and store servers? Maybe. We exited the same way we entered and moved to the cafeteria. This place was HUGE and really open. Kinda made me uneasy seeing how deep into the beast we were.

The next building had a central observation area in it. It was an l shaped room covered in one way mirrors, allowing the person inside to see what was going on in the other, smaller rooms.
Leaving this area we came to the pool and gym area. The stagnant water in the pool had no algae which was odd, not even dead algae floated on the surface. It was a clear orange, stained by the leaves on the bottom.
Finally we came to the medical area/morgue. Not as creepy as I had hoped, I really wanted a Silent Hill type vibe. Oh well. Embedded into the wall were two body freezers.

We left shortly after. We had fun but next time I don’t want to get so close to the prison.

See all the photos I took here

Objective: Create a randomly mutating neural network, initially with a very basic ability to recognize shapes and colors, evolve through artificial selection the ability to recognize faces.

Approach: Inputs would be from a large arbitrary database of images (Google images?), composed of images with faces and images without faces. The images would be run through the network, and the results (if any faces were recognized, where in the image they are), would be displayed to end users on a massive scale. Results where the network was close would breed a successful network; ones where it failed would be terminated.

Methods: A neural network would be coded, with the ability to mutate in the form of the number of neurons, their connections, thresholds, and weights. Successive, “generations” of networks would be created automatically with one random mutation each. Each generation of networks would be run on a certain image, and an end user would select the best result. The best result would be kept, and the next generation would be spawned from it.

The end user would be many internet users. This would allow the artificial selection to run on a massive scale, getting the evolution to move at a pace fast enough to create a working piece of software.
