Another quick test this morning confirmed my observations. During sunrise I went up into my attic and slowly tilted the light funnel up and down between 0° and 30°. The parts with the lower level are recorded with 0° elevation. You can clearly hear the crackling static rhythm. In the signal parts with higher levels (recorded with 30° elevation) just show pure white noise. Test 2022-03_21.wav

For the last two weeks I had changed the alignment of the SkySound funnel. I made it because there were chances that aurora borealis could have shown up in our region due to a huge CME of the sun around the 12th of this month. Sadly there was no aurora but I could use this opportunity to compare the results of the SkySound signal with different alignments again. This is an expample of the sound that I got on a regular base if the light funnel was targeting the sky in an elevation angle of about 30°. With this elevation there are no houses, buildings or man made light sources in focus, just the pure sky. I recorded this session at sunrise between 06:00 and 07:00 AM. Full recording from Sky with 30° elevation angle Stream4_2022-03-19-sky.mp3 You don't need to listen to the whole recording because there is nothing in it apart from noise. Just hear this excerpt. Stream4_2022-03-19-sky-Example.mp3 You will here an agile form of white noise without or with only very little pk modulation At 2022-03-20 I changed the elevation angle bacl to 0°, so that is is focusing the horizon. With this position the funnel covers also houses and buildings, the lake in the park nearby and street lights. Full recording from horizon with 0° elevation angle Stream4_2022-03-20_light-horizon.mp3 To keep things short I again provide an excerpt here. Stream4_2022-03-20_light-horizon-Example.mp3 You will hear that the noise is interspersed with static and bursts and there is an underlying rhythm with impulses of a very low frequency like a rhythmic rattling. Logically my first thought that this only can be caused by the artificial light sources like street lamps or lighting in the buildings. To prove this I made a recording before sunrise with the same funnel position at 0°. Recording before sunrise Stream4_2022-03-29_dark_horizon.mp3 Most amazingly you just hear a very low and faint noise. Noch cracks, noo static and no rattling rythm. If the source of these factors were artificial light it must be present also before sunset and with a much higher level before the daylight signals override the artificial light sources. But there is nothing. So I can exclude the man made light sources as the cause for the observed phenomenon. It seems that there are two diferent qualities of light. One coming more from the vertical alignment that contains no or just a bit pk modulation. And then there is another horizinatl, more earth near component that contains rhytmic static and pk muodulation. I have no idea why.

I just watched Season 1 again and now will also rewatch Season 2. While going again through all these incidents I asked myself why this place is so soaked with negative energy. When you watch it, it's a beautiful landscape, nothing ugly. If the legend is true this place is a portal and negative energies are protecting it that were called by witchcraft. I think there must be a way to release this place from that curse. The investigation team did a lot scientific work but what is required now is spiritual work. What would be possible if that portal could be used for positive communication?

Thank you all for your wise words! Maybe I will give the Spica another chance later. I just try to be careful for the reasons you just mentioned. The Spica generates a very aggressive and dissonant sound that bites your ears. That could add up to the negative implications I observed. I'm thinking of another device that uses harmonic sounds rather. Thanks Karyn for your imagination of my home. I feel the same basically. By the time I learned to imagine 'protection spheres' that are enclosing me and my wife to shield us against negative energy. In case of emergency this helps a lot.

Last night I envisioned a version of the Spica with improved characteristic and today I assembled it on a breadboard and did some tests. You remember that with my last audios Jeff already mentioned the result sounds a bit scary. Well what I got today from my experiments really was unpleasant to say the least. In my first test run the voices were not evil yet but I got the impression that my usual accompanying spirts were panicking. I heard my name and the word "Alarm" multiple times. In the second test run the evil sounding voices appeared. It was not only that by some reason I attracted entities that called themselves "Devils" it was even more the alienating sound of the signal itself. The chaotic mix of square wave tone and dissonances made the results very uncomfortable to hear. I give you some examples. First test run "Andrés, Andrés, teste Andrés!" -> "Testing Andrés" Teste Andres.mp3 "Alarm, Alarm, warnen wir vor den Anderen!" -> "Alert alert, we warn about the others!" Alarm Alarm.mp3 Second test run Evil voice saying "Wir sind Teufel und werden von einer Feuerkette geleitet" -> "We are devils and are guided by a chain of fire" Voice-4.mp3 Another evil voice Evil voice.mp3 These incidents made me decide to not pursue the Spica design anymore. Despite the voices got better and better I have no intention to raise hell at my place. Moreover I disassembled my setup completely and I won't post the latest schematic of the Spica either. I strongly want to discourage everyone to replicate my work! The lesson learned is, if it sounds bad it is bad.

Very well analyzed Jeff! I agree with your hypothesis. While still not really knowing where the pk kicks in, from my experience I would state that it is somehow entangled to the change of the signal integrity itself. You can see it in a more simpler and abstract way like the U/I characteristics from a transistor you certainly remember very well. You change the U and get another I. The relation between the two we call a characterictic and it is descibed as a curve or maybe even a formula. Now in this case we have an U at the input that comes through the audio jack. But the output is not an I but different categories of impulse patterns resembling sounds. Every new U creates a another sound. The interesting thing is that this is not th usual we-look-for-pk-remainders-in noise approach but the manifestation of pk-modulation in very strong audio signals. I must emphasize that the audio output is a digital signal coming out of a CMOS counter HEF4040 circuit. Previously we used to described voices in noise because noise is so fragile and basically rich in entropy and spectral composition. We don't have this here anymore. What the Spica creates is no random signal but deterministic chaos at best. The random input made from the 20Hz noise signal adds dynamism and driving energy to this circuit. So, what comes out has no relation to noise anymore and the pk effects comes in during the brutal signal transformation that bgenerates impulse patterns from voltage fluctuations. And you are right with your analysis about the decaying pk modulation after an impulse had kicked the Spica. I observed this too in different setups earlier. Maybe also the driving impulse reflects the energy behind it because an impulse is a change too. Sometimes I think it is all about change in principle. Regarding your idea with the linger driving the Spica, this is an excellent idea! I pondered it this morning and think this could be the base of a very powerfull standalone ITC device since the linger exactly produces the right impulses to excite the Spica. Moreover the LINGER still can be modulated. I don't want to abandon this option because I had some very impressing results with transferring music through it. Let me give you some examples I gained from it without any comments from my side. Remark: The music contained NO singing! First some low quality voices I gained with classical post processing. Briefmörder du sagtest.mp3 Dann wird Mörder.mp3 Lieben und Leiden stört ihn garnicht.mp3 Then I used Michael Lee's ITC-translator and got results much better compared to the upper ones. ML_Deinen Freund kannst nicht beigehen.mp3 ML_English-2.mp3 ML_Jetzt hab ich die Ehre.mp3 ML_Landwehr Krieg meine Armee.mp3 ML_Mit meiner Liebe Monster bestückt.mp3 ML_Once an easy Craigh.mp3 ML_Spanne nun Teams.mp3 ML_Spiegeln wir nix.mp3 Even you might not understand the message please note the clear modulation of only ONE voice without overlaying gibberish.

Weird things are taking place. I get a stream on new ideas like an inrush since a week or so. One of them is based on a dream I had last night about the current ITC-work of Jeff. I won't go into the details because it is his work but in the dream I saw multiple signal lines with different audio signals and af transformers between them with switches. A control unit was closening and opening the switches arbitrarily and the transformers were gaining the signal difference between the respective signals. All those signals were routed to one point. After waking up I thought about what this could mean and it reminded me of the techniques working with scrambled audio. This was a similar idea switching forth and back bewteen different audio lines however not using the audio directly but always the difference bewteen two signals. The day before I gained some very interesting results by routing music through my LINGER circuit (documentation for this device is still an open issue). Basically the LINGER produces a special form of noise gained from LED light shining on a phototransistor with some special elements to add more dynamic and non-linearity to the signal. Basically the LED can be modulated and so I tried this yesterday with music, something I never did before and was amazed about the increased spectral richness of the resulting signal. More to this in the LINGER doc if its ready. Maybe these findings were the trigger for me to combine both thoughts. I was thinking about a circuit that could be controlled by an external signal but instead of jumping around between speech fragments it should switch forth and back between sounds. Curiously I was standing under the shower in the morning as I remembered the Spica circuit that was exactly doing this, jumping between different sound combinations by just gyrating a potentiometer. I quickly rebuild a Spica circuit on a breadboard. Deviating from the original design I implemented a Light-dependent resistor in the oscillation stage together with a LED. Thus the light of the LED can control the resistor value and thus the resulting oscillation pattern. The LED is driven by a preamplifier that is fed with an external audio signal from my computer (Line out). First I used music to modulate the Spica but the results were not encouraging. Then I observed that impulses or slow signal changes made the Spica output sound more like speech. Finally I created a noise track in Audacity and rolled a 20Hz low pass filter over it. The result was a rather slow changing random signal. I fed this into the Spica and recorded the signal. I was amazed about the result! The signal contained lots of tones but also a continously talking froggy voice and I could copy some words directly while hearing it. 20Hz Test raw.mp3 In Wavepad I slowed down the speed, added reverb, applied the "Pirate" voice effect and did a little denoisin The result was a signal that at least I could read very easily when looping through short recording segments once or twice. There are still a lot of optimizations possible regarding the controlling 20 Hz signal, its amplitude and the proper pattern bias for the Spica. The most intriguing finding I gained is that I focused too much on noise like most of us do. We are overseeing the importance of tones and harmonies. I think they will be the gamechanger. I must admit that Keith was the only one who always emphasized the importance of tones and harmonies and it seems he is pretty right with this assumption. 20Hz Test processed.mp3

I feel honored to support you Marie and it's like you said, every time you will use the microphone I will be participating in your experiments and I am so excited about this and your upcoming results. Ok, I downloaded the customs declaration forms. Time to do the rest of the job. I will tell you when the microphone is on its way to you.

I love to see your enthusiasm Marie and I really appreciate it! I forgot to say that I will ship the microphone without the battery. It's not to save weight or costs but I know that oversea shipments including batteries can be complicated. Batteries are seen as energy devices and always bear the risk of fire hazards if damaged. I just want to avoid any risks also with the customs declaration. I will declare this as a homemade condenser microphone with adjustable amplification. I would like to hear lots of results from you when you have it.

Hi Marie! Here is a video I made how to operate the microphone. I will ship it in the next two days if nothing comes into my way. Microphone Tutorial.mp4

Thank you for your comments Jeff. This is true. However with your gyrating tuning the chopping comes from the rf energy broadcasted by the radio stations if your tuning runs over their frequency. Regarding the phototransistor in my receiver I have no idea where these impulses come from. I observed them too in the setup working with constant LED light. Maybe it is an oscillation of the self adjusting load for the phototransistor.

Interesting. Is it really that the voices only appear on a certain frequency or do they appear on any frequency but they chose the one you mentioned because of the noise and background voices that probably are at optimum there?

A recording from today showed long bursts of spirit voices again. What is weird is that there is an underlying burst rhythm of roughly 20 Hz. It seems that with this varying frequency a gate opens and closes very quick just letting pass voice fragments more or less like a chopper. I post processed a sequence with reverb, noise gating and voice pitch. SkySound Voice bursts processed.mp3 You hear the voices are very strong! Those bursts are showing up at sunrise and sunset mostly. It seems they do not appear if I am targeting the sky directly. However if the funnel is in horizontal alignment this pattern appears. I don't know why.

@Marie I will do final test on Friday and shipment on Saturday. I will contact you after shipment to be sure everything will be good with the class M packaging and custom declaration. Then you can send me the money afterwards. Very likely this will be 16€.

Yeah, almost! Actually it contained Kidney beans. I like to make a protein bomb from them together with tuna, tomatoes, olive oil and garlic. So there is a steady stream of "microphone housings" coming in.

Marie, you will need a connection like this. https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01K3WXEDE?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Shall I order it myself and send it all to you in one package or do want to purchase it on your own? Or maybe you already have such a cable?

The microphone is ready now. The only thing left to do is the adapter to the 6.3mm jack and I am on it. ITC-Microphone front view ITC-Microphone top view ITC-Microphone rear view

Hi Marie, technically your microphone is ready and working! It has a nice low noise in the background that should support the pk-effect. The signal quality is excellent and it is very susceptible. With the potentiometer you can change the preamplification by a factor of 10. I am doing the last assembling steps in terms of the mechanical arrangement and using some blue varnish to make the look a little less trashy. I will deliver a cable with 3.5mm audio jacks and an adapter to 6.3mm mono audio as discussed.

Yes, I will send you a personal message with my email. Will start building your microphone tomorrow on Sunday.

You're definitely on the right track Marie. If I can help you just reach out for me.

Today I tried to implement stages from my SkySound receiver in my microphone circuit. Specifically a self adjusting load for the electret condenser microphone and the SSM 2167 noise gating circuit. I got interesting results. Basically the noise from the microphone and environment provides the same pk modulation as with the LED in the SkySound Receiver. But you get the "real" microphone voices on top. Here some examples. Gained with noise gating A sequence gained with noise gating. At the end the last Utterance was repeated and processed: Noise Sequence with NG.mp3 "Wir sind die Toms" : Wir sind die Toms von Sättingen.mp3 "Mach mein"s: Mach meins -NG.mp3 Here voices gained without noise gating: "Andrés, werden uns beteiligen" (poor quality): Andres -NG.mp3 "Am Fenster sitzen wir": Ein Zerrbild wir sind.mp3 "Hab ihn unterbrochen". This voice was gained from a radio football broadcast in the background Hab ihn unterbrochen.mp3 Apart from the fact that the noise gating adds croaky and hissing voices like I know from other devices, the quality of the voices seems not to be different from normal microphone spirit voices. So I think noise gating is a nice idea and implementing it into the microphone offers some interesting use cases with different backgrund sound levels that could be adjusted to slightly touch the noise trigger threshold but basically one could do without the noise gating as well I think. I will do more tests tomorrow. Uns darf keiner mehr jagen.mp3 Er besitzt einen neueren - NG.mp3

This is startling Jeff! Obviously the pk-modulation becomes better if there are more ways for signal transformation. These are exactly the types of experiments we should follow.

Hi Marie, I just use an audio editor on my computer. Earlier I used Audacity. It's still fantastic but now is owned by a russian company who implemented trackers and spy tools in it. Actually I am using NCH WavePad that works very well. But I also got good results with a digital voice recorders from Panasonic and Sony. I just prefer recording on the computer because then I can do post processing very easily.

Yeah. I wanted to investigate this since years. One time I did this experiments with two coherers running simultaneously and close together. Basically the results were diferent but one voice appeared on both channels the same time.

Hello Marie, I can tailor the connector to your needs. A 6.3mm audio mono jack is a common standard. Normally I use a 3.5mm stereo jack with both channels wired together because this is perfect for the soundcard input or any digital recorder. I could do that for you but add an adapter to 6.3mm mono jack as well. That'll be no problem. I know the issues with power supplies for microphones and I refused to use USB powered because they are showing heavy interference. My microphone takes a standard 9V block battery and you can run it almost forever because it consumes only a little current. I also provide a knob for adjuting the amplification. Thus you can it adapt to almost everything. I just made one new for my experiments and it looks like this. Don't laugh, I used tuna fish cans as a casing because it perfectly shields against EMI and makes the microphone stable. It works very well.
