The picture is of the Helix Nebula aka the Eye of God. I wonder how that plays into things?

OK, not absolutely necessary, but here is an almost pristine version of the equinox voice (trimmed the silent bits out too).

Excellent MrToasty. It's all clear but still sounds like city of amnesia to me although I know it's not. Laughing

I think it sounds like "amnesia" also. It would fit, since Philly seems to have forgotten the lost souls buried there at Byberry. Dunno

Ahhhh I think you're right exanor. She feels unheard and forgotten, and I think city of amnesia is what it says after all.

I also think it's "amnesia", a big part of the Byberry grounds will be used for houses for the elderly.

 Links to the beyond
Found by staring into the static

Hey remotedevice nice to see you, lots of mysteries to unravel! Hmm- wonder if we should all try e-mailing that address as well. Possibly could lead to another character!

Oooh- more updates. Went back to this page as I waited for a possible response to my CL ad, and noticed Equniox sent me back to the home page after playing the sound file. A look at the source code is very revealing:

First thing:
Code:
<P>&nbsp;</P><WEARETHETASTEOFYOURFEARTHETASTEOFFEARLIKEMETAL>

Which seems to mean: WE ARE THE TASTE OF YOUR FEAR THE TASTE OF FEAR LIKE METAL

Kinda scary! Makes me think that maybe it's the taste of copper-y blood? I dunno. Could be a reference to why they're in limbo and fighting their personal wars.

Then there were these symbols in black:


Quote:

O


The first several crosses are also links to Web pages we already know about. Sleep, door, hallway, etc.

There are 12 crosses, possibly like the astrological signs and one circle making it the 13th symbol. I'm thinking they represent the new voices, possibly Echo, Mona, Margaret and the other peeps we need to help. Wonder about the placement of those two crosses together at the 3rd line. Maybe it's more evidence that Mona was pregnant when she died, since then it would be a two-person death. So the order would be:

Echo
Margaret
Mona and Baby
Other new voices

Need to comb through all the pages to see if they made any changes!

Take Care,
Kendra

Edited:

Hmmm... Apparently Taste of Fear is several things. It is a death metal band on MySpace:

And a 1961 movie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taste_of_Fear

Cool work people!! Just noticed that too Kendra.

The "door" page has new updates. There sre four "11"s now on top (obviously 11th level) and the source code now contains:

Quote:
i am the overthrown. i am the overthrone. i am echo.


On the "perchance tp dream" page there is new audio during the Beach boys song...different from the already embedded audio we have heard. I cant make it out.

Also, just before bed I checked the equinox page and the audio is definitely different. Many more distortions and I think there is a second message towards the end that wasnt there bfre. Its still the same voice though. Anyways, I gotta sleep as its 4am here, but you tech-savvy people should have some fun with this!

EDIT: Im leaving the spelling errors as proof of how bad I need sleep...

There's also a death metal band called OVERTHRONE.

Similar idea, I took them to be the levels - 11 plus the center ring.

equinoxtransmission2.mp3 changed 9-26
Is Mona trying to tell us something more?

I wonder if the recent contact with Mona (see posted emails from Tresbien and walkingpaper here) has prompted a change of the mp3 on http://www.voicesinthestatic.com/equinox/
The name of the mp3 on the site is still equinoxtransmission2, but it's different. Have a listen.

The redirect back to http://www.voicesinthestatic.com/ and the email remotedevice received makes me think we missed something in the static. Sad

Definitely very different, but so far the only thing I really hear in the reverse is the "I rage beneath the disbelief" part again.

OK--that is truly horrific--esp. that sickeningly saccharine voice saying "You love the Distortion""....
