The Track "hy a scullyas lyf a dhagrow"
On RDJ's album "Drukqs" there is a distinctive sound of what
seems to be a beep map.
I dont know of any of you are familiar with the face
imbedded in "windowlicker" im fairly sure there is some kind
of image inbedded in this track because i recognize the
sound of a 'beepmap'

does anyone know what picture he used or how to find out or
if it has even been discovered yet?

I know what you mean by the "beepmap" sound. I'll check it
out when I have time.

I'll have a listen to that when I get home...sounds
intriguing...I know what you mean by "beepmap"; kinda like
the way that data sounds (a la old spectrum/C64 tapes, fax
machines); you can kinda hear some structure in there...

That bonus track on MEN1 sounds as if it's something encoded
as well...I know the chaps on /. were looking into the
various diff methods of encoding pictures & the like but no
joy so far...

Hmm... The only problem i am having right now to find out
what RDJ is using for the beep is that i only have the .mp3,
not the uncompressed version of the song. hmmmmm...

a few months ago i scanned the RDJ album cover, put it into
fruityloops' "beepmap", and got sounds that closely
resembled those in one of that long ambient piece on AB3.
