If this were an IP address, it would be: 16.181.33.8, which would have to come from Palo Alto, California.


There's a lot of possible IP addresses in that sequence:

16.18.13.38
161.81.3.38
161.81.33.8
etc

IP Addresses are made up of four parts, each 0-255.

I think if it was an IP address, it would have to tell us exactly where to put the periods.

We could try them all?

I think RasGold's on the right track. It's an IP address or the notes are a URL.
Tried the numbers as: 161.81.33.8 and it's registered to a Boulder, CO company named ExaByte. But the registration date is '92.
161.8.133.8 and 161.8.13.38 are registered in Russia.
16.18.133.8 and 16.18.13.38 are registered to HP in the same location as RasGold identified.
I did. Kept editing my msg. and you probably missed it. Sorry.

Double EDIT: Aren't .dat files visual? Shouldn't we be thinking along the lines of a movie rather than sound?


Some wise person here answered this question, but my searches to find it on the forum yielded no results. At any rate, a .DAT extension means the file contains arbitrary data not associated with any specific program or app to open it. So when opened, it can be a wide variety of file formats — not only video or image.


Ahh thanks for that clarification.

Phew, so I finally made it through all ten pages. ...

EDIT: And if anyone cares, when I double checked the tones of the notes I got:

C#/Db - F#/Gb - C#/Db - G#/Ab - C/B# - D#/Eb - D#/Eb - G#/Ab

I had posted this earlier today: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=709935#709935


Yes I was just going over what I found the notes to be since different people were giving slightly different notes and I happened to have a keyboard right next to me.

They all agree on the note sequence! (and they all agree the notes are "flats")


Also, there is no difference between a C sharp and a D flat. They are the same note. So depending on the key of the tones, the notes can be either sharp or flat. That is, if this is written music and not just manipulated sound frequencies.

OK



Sorry, but I ran that image through my barcode decoder and it said there wasn't a barcode found..





Hmm. It seemed too good not to mention. I didn't think we'd need a square grid. The ones on a redbox DVD aren't square. I guess that could be a proprietary system though.

 		A thought regarding the file name: EXP could stand for just about anything, but the most common usage of the abbreviation CNV in the military (or NASA) seems to be for "conversion." So it seems likely that something (EXP) has been converted into the sound we're hearing.

Interestingly, one NASA usage of EXP is for "exposure," specifically to radiation. Thoughts?

 		I keep going back to the thought that there's some tie between this file and the sine wave image that comes up over the trailer at super8-movie.com.

Sorry, but they were all wrong then. The fifth note is definitely lower than the first/third one. You can simply check that by getting you one of the many freeware audio editors, mark the fifth note, copy and paste it right after the first one.
Not sure about the last one, but I'd say it's higher. Maybe not the 10th step, as I came to think at first, but around the 9th.

ok so i follow the advice, i have Soundbooth (adobe) CS4 at work and was playing around with the sound file from unfiction. it was my first time using it but i have a lil bit of experience using adobe audition to do remixes….ok this is the process if some one else can do it too….

-open
-apply time/pitch change (slow the thing the most i can it goes at 1:15 minutes)
-apply noise reduction
-insert eq: graphic
-insert dynamics (advanced)
-remove all audio filters
-insert analog delay
-equalize volume levels
-edit metadata

ok that far i got really weird sounds and the so mentionate "noise" it became alive, it sounds more metallic and have diferent levels so maybe is not noise at all maybe something else……then i found an option that says transcript….i got gosebumps i just try it and since is a lot of sounds didnt think it will get something, i put it to transcript to English USA, and got this:

[speaker 0] the room
[speaker 1] air air all i ll
[speaker 2] the room
[speaker 4] ABA are I
[speaker 5] her room did it in them
[speaker 6] we're room
[speaker 7] heirloom
[speaker 9] that on
[speaker 10] name the minimum bid

ok i dont know what that means, or if i found something but i tho i have to post it here, and i have the mp3 file i got out of that, you cannot understand the words in there, i repeat the transcript it was made by the computer….

One thing bother me about this, i was using almost the last version of a really cool editing software that most of the people doesnt have, so put all that in the clue doenst make sense, but oh well is my piece of investigation…i dont know how to upload the mp3 tho….


Is this nothing?

 		I just found out that Braegen Automated Tape Library can run/mount 7 tapes on the PDP-11, if I understand it right at the same time, does that mean anything?

Also, I can't find it but I remember someone in the HD analysis thread commenting on a music reference to the 21+70.64 code? any links to that with the music? does it make up the full phone number or IP address?

I so much would have loved that Smile. Onfortunately it doesn't seem so. Googled for some EEG audio samples and here's what they sound like:
http://www.sonifyer.org/sound/eeg/diagnose/?id=20
It's in german, but has quite a lot of samples.

Just saw the de / en switch at right top of that page but... it doesn't really work Smile.

Edit: Hmm, surfed that side a bit. There could stil be something to your theory. The lower 2 samples on this site at least have a slight, very slight simmilarity to our .mp3. It could matter what system/machine you use to "sonify" the EEG.

That's why I kept arguing with the first guy and decided to seek more help ...
It turns out the final note is a G#, but a full octave higher than the 4th note.

I also find it very odd that the IP : 16.181.33.8 for Hewlett Packard winds up in the middle of a Game Preserve! (OOG: http://terragames.org/ - this would not be part of the game as the site does not store cookies).
I've looked up the two IP's I use (home and work) they are accurate.
Why does this one come out wrong?

Hewlett-Packard was not a merger in the 70's, but Packard-Bell was (Gordon Bell helped to create the PDP-11).

Just a humble coincidence?

 		I think that the word "EXPCNV" can be divided in EXP (experiment) and CNV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contingent_negative_variation)

This sound could be a sound experiment for the stimulation of the brain!

Looking at some other forums and blogs, many are speculating:
EX = External Device
PC = Personal Computer
NV = Nevada
