pretty sure there's whispering going on in session 2. It's just way too hard to make out. But both sessions have breathing throughout.
Tried putting session 1 and 2 and intermission 1 through a spectrogram, but there's really nothing I could see in there. The beeping is consistent, doesn't look like morse or variants or anything...

i tried playing the tick tock sound file at different speeds and while playing around with the equalizer, but my results are about the same as everyone else's: some kind of tapped-out code and a clock. but i just wanted to point out that the ticking sounds like a heart beat when it's slowed down. that probably means nothing, but it still kind of creeped me out....

Anybody try playing them backwards maybe? That would be my first move.

Sent Ilockedhim an Email with some cryptic prose work.

Doubt they will uunderstand, but will be itneresting to see what they say back.

The message was a simple poem about a termite and a sparrow.

Edit: Got this message from him.

The sound of crying
Rings from the walls
But there is only a termite
On deaf ears, it falls

I will continue a cryptic prose chat with him/her.

Edit 2: Second Email from him. The second poem I wrote back was about the sparrow being listless and ultimatley failing. This is what they wrote back.

A light in the dark
Shines a beam so narrow
No one is there
But a little blind sparrow

I'm assuming that the blind sparrow is Jack, while we are the deaf termites? Maybe.

OK! I got some new stuff. We had some conversation through email, and when the conversation was concluded they sent me 4 emails in unison. This is what they read.

Email 1:
Oculus pro oculus.

Email 2:
Vix pro vix.

Email 3:
Frendo pro frendo.

Email 4:
Vita pro vita.

Revenge for something?

With each translation of the sentecnes I was given, I have concluded that this could very well be a plot of revenge.

Life for Life, maybe Jack accidentally killed someone close to the Kidnapper?
