A project by the Claws community for 'Server vs Sever': an annual event where music production communities compete to create the best EP. The theme for 2022 was: 'Secrets'.
~
The story behind the EP is as follows:
There was a huge release of documents
surrounding the USA military complex. These became known as the ‘Nevada Papers’.
These papers revealed a huge research
program conducted in collaboration with the CIA and the US department of defence. Psychologists working for the CIA and DoD had
researched extensively into ‘neurophonology’. This was the process of manipulating subjects such
as prisoners of war to reveal classified information,
to alter their memory or inflict mind control.
In neurophonology, the subject is played a series
of different audio tracks. These invoke certain
psychological responses and cause the subject’s
brain to act in a different manner. The leaks also suggested this was an extremely dangerous process often resulting in psychological
damage or even death to the subjects.
The audio tracks were produced by large teams of
neurophonology researchers. Each blip of sound
affects the brain in different ways.
There are thought to be hundreds of these tracks. However, only a small handful were ever obtained
by the public. It is believed many files were lost as their
discoverers became paralysed by their sound.
The tracks that are available have been described
to ‘open the mind and elevate the consciousness’. These tracks are dangerous to listen to and
must be approached with caution!
