>OK, yeah. All is good. I believe the Subliminal kid reference is from >William Burroughs. Burroughs, so I've heard, wrote about actual audio >terrorism. he thought that if you set up lots of hidden speakers in a >heavily populated urban area, like Times Swuare NYC, and played noises of >guns firing and cops saying "freeze," you could literally start a riot >through noise alone. This is just the version I've heard in a class I'm >taking now, I don't know if that's entirely accurate. funny you mention WSB as he used to write alot about talking arseholes.. anyways, there was a collaboration during the 80s on a film involving such luminaries as aforementioned, FM Einheit, and Ball (from Softcell?) under the direction of one Gustav Maeck --> Decoder! it's pretty much like what you described being fictionalized with Einheit broadcasting infernal sounds in restaurants and cafeterias; annoying the shit out of people. muzak is more than muzak <-- as the title goes. you can get it on Jettisoundz out of the UK the same people who put out In the Shadow of the Sun.. also worthwhile is the ELECTRONiC REVOLUTiON (1970) translated by Flesh which you can find and copy off the web. here's an excerpt of sorts: Friday July 28, 1972 ...Plan 28 at a glance ...First some remarks on the tape recorder experiments started by Ian Sommerville in 196. these involved not only street, pub, party, subway recordings but also PLAYBACK on location. when I returned to London from the States in 1966 he had already accumulated a considerable body of data and developed a technology. He had discovered that playback on location can produce definite effects. Playing back recordings of an accident can produce another accident. In 1966 I was staying at the Rushmore Hotel, 11 Trebovir Road, Earl's Court, and we carried out a number of these operations: street recordings, cut in of other material, playback in the streets ...(I recall I had cut in fire engines and while playing this tape back in the street fire engines passed.) These experiments were summarized in THE INVISIBLE GENERATION ... ( I wonder if anybody but CIA agents read this article or thought of putting these techniques into actual operation) Anybody who carries out similar experiments over a period of time will turn up more 'coincidences' than the law of averages allows. The tech can be extended by taking still or moving pictures during playback. I have frequently observed this operation: make recordings and take pictures of some location you wish to discomode or destroy, now play recordings back and take more pictures, will result in accidents, fires, removals. especially the latter The target moves. We carried out this operation with the Scientology Center at 37 Fitzroy Street. Some months later they moved to 68 Tottenham Court Road, where a similar operation was carried out...
