Whois says the sites were created in '98 and '99. Now that's some ARG planning. No, not a match.

ETA: Great work on the wiki AUZ!

just popping back in after lots of things...

I can't find it for the love of all that is good, but I have something very similar if not right on to this... I'll phish around.

(you know us SCA'rs)

I've been trying to get a match on the tune with TrackID, but I've had no joy yet. To be fair though, my phone's connection to TrackID has been a bit flakey since I started trying for some reason. Does anyone know of any PC-based alternatives to Track ID? I've tried a few pieces of sofware that claim to do a similar job but all they do is check the ID Tags of the mp3s.

Ran "decoded_ signal.mp3" through the Abander Program searching for hidden images and/or comments. No joy and only the Genre tag: Acoustic (previously mentioned) which would mean a large data base search. Sad

Reckon TheParthenon is spot on thinking that we are indeed the network. And SUPAH wiki AUZ--ty.

/Cheers

Like TheParthenon said, I think the "instrument" (assuming it's not digital) is some kind of bagpipes. Assuming this is true, they're certainly not any kind of bagpipes I've ever heard (those being the Scottish sort).

As it turns out, bagpipes aren't even of Scottish origin:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagpipes

There are, in fact, a staggering variety of kinds of bagpipes from all over Europe, Africa and Asia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bagpipes

It would stand to reason that if we can find the right kind of bagpipes we can figure out at least what kind of music they are used in. Googling the names of some of these things leads to some interesting (if not terribly useful) results, a lot of them on youtube:

French "veuze"
German Mittelaltersackpfeife <-- Get ready for some German Ren-fair awesomeness.

When you start to get down to some of the Eastern European and Russian bagpipes, you're certainly at least hitting similar tones/tunings.

Ukranian "Volynka" <-- Btw, if anyone knows where I can get a hat like that, please message me.

So I haven't gotten through nearly all of them yet, but I'm pretty sure that we are looking for bagpipes.

I have to get to work, I'll look more later. I leave you with this video of German Ren-Fair Bagpipe Techno: Unplugged.

OK, so the metalworking was my bad. /facepalm.

But, OOG-guy, a friendly correction -- his name is Matthew Kapinski... not Michael Kapinski. I notice you've sorta been using them interchangeably throughout your last several posts.

Unless I'm mistaken, our characters are Michael Gertz and Matthew Kapinski.

Matthew Kapinski was the technical contact for Jay-Bill, and there's a Matthew Kapinski who's the technical contact for Monarch Steel, which is why I thought there was a connection.

Anyway!

I'm not really too good at helping much with the whole audio recognition thing... =\ so I guess I'm gonna return to lurkmode.

Thanks for the correction dana Wink

Re jaybill's bagpipe quest: pure spec that the instrument is African, the vocal Islamic.

Why? While playing the mp3 my guy who can nevah remember a tune but is USAF reserve suddenly stopped putting up Cmas lights and said: "That's from Black Hawk Down. Let's watch it again soon".

Checked as much as possible of the film's score with Somalian Influenced music finding only close similarities. Maybe a direction to head in a database search?

Pretty close to the same sound. Not sure if it's the exact same instrument though. Nice call on the BlackHawk down movie. The music is really close (if not exact).

The difference between the two tracks is one is more of a reed instrument while the decoded signal definitely sounds as its coming from an instument based on a chanter. This really reminds me of stuff we listen to on the way to the battleground or at bonfire...I really wish we could nail down the vocal at the end. Is there any way to isolate it?
