Subject: OT and very very very bizarre !

From: "sikorsky" <vulture.squadron@...>

hello all,
okay, i've had a mobile phone locking onto a network print to all 24
channels of an analogue tape, but can anyone explain this:

i was working on a remix of a track ∗ on saturday, on my computer, and
recorded some drum loops
when i recorded them all i heard was drum loop - obviously
today i play them back and i get drum loop - spooky voice - drum loop
very very bizarre, so

1) there are only effected vocals on the song, but this is an english voice,
dry (not even a dash of reverb), saying "there hello"

2) at around twice the pitch / tempo of normal speech

3) i wasn't drunk / stoned / etc

4) there was absolutely nothing plugged into the console that this could
come from

5) it wasn't taxi radio style induction as i would have heard it during
recording, and it's far far too clean for that

6) if it was a mobile phone, how could it be at twice the frequency

7) i isolated the section of recording, i can't tell at the start, but at
the end of the interuption the waveform is clipped

8) no one else has keys to my house apart from my girlfriend, and she
wouldn't have a clue how to boot my music computer, never mind alter the
file properties to make it look as though it hadn't been tampered with

9) what the hell is going on..?

cheers

rather spooked

∗ and another spooky thing is that when i first heard this band back at the
end of 99, i immediately said they reminded me of fad gadget - whom they'd
never heard of - and i found out today that frank (tovey) died last week
