The guy's email: luckylonely94SPLATgmail.com

On his blog entry, he mentioned that the USB drive with the name "Icarus".

Icarus actually is a character in Greek mythology:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icarus

And he also mentioned there's nothing in the USB drive but only a creepy mp3 file.

I emailed him for further information.

OK, I emailed him about Icarus and I got the reply:

I emailed him as well and asked for a copy of the music file. It is some seriously creepy stuff. I noticed however when I ran it through iTunes it came up with the title "DCR Prologue Test". Any ideas?

The creepy voice in the background is William S Burroughs poem "A Thanksgiving Prayer".

You can hear the following lines after the weird morse code bit, which I totally cannot figure out.

My daughter speaks Morse and says it's "DCK" repeated 3 times.

I hear something else just before the poem starts, another voice...right after the morse code, right before the poem. Anyone else hear that?

Edit: "****** while you can," is what I hear, the asterisks being a word I can't make out. "Assemble?" "Listen?" I kinda lean towards listen...

Edit2: Then, towards the end, there's a voice that clearly says "Estimated death toll: six point five billion," and then repeats. Are we looking at some sort of end of the world scenario maybe?

Right after the death toll voice, it sounds like an echo saying "kill me".

Holy hell, am I glad I caught this one on day one! Looks good! I'm in!

The maintainer of the blog has posted a link to a Facebook group. I have joined the group.

There is a certain part towards the beginning that sounds like it is backwards.
