Interesting stuff. Good to have another potentially exciting ARG starting up.

Anyone have any ideas if the "chanting" is actual words, or just a noise generated to set up the Twitter hashtag?

The generated noise is the static you hear just above the chanting. I'm pretty sure the chanting is something.

Also if you mosaic on facebook and twitter and use the "find me" option, you will see there are different versions of the mosaic, which means a lot more people have signed on than it appears lmao.

The chanting sounds slightly like German to me.

German or Russian, the second would make sense for Baine. Also sounds like it could be "This is Gotham/Arkham" or something like that

Not sure either way.

Also, I tried to run alot of different tools to try and make sense of the chanting and/or find a way to decipher what was said, nothing. I've slowed, sped, reversed, modulated, adjusted, adjusted pitch, and nothing yet. Then again, I'm more of a field agent, not the intelligence side.

Also, complete pic is now my desktop.

YEah I'm playing with the image in GIMP but I'm still pretty inexperienced with image puzzles. The only pecular things I noticed is that ~~the image has the same marks on the threshold as the dark one on the fire rises twitter account~~ (No they just have the same odd dark area at the beginning, but it's probably not anything), and the threshold itself starts in an odd place for this image. I don't know if that means anything, but in my little experiences with image manipulation especially for args, I've not seen that.
