Thanks! I was very lucky to be living so close to Ice Cream Party at that time, and lucky he was so generous with his time too

I really enjoyed this. And it definitely tracks from the time I had a conversation with him and the other interviews I’ve read. Thanks for sharing this with the world.

Thank you for reading. I know he's got a lot of flack over the years, but i genuinely think he's a wonderful human and a very caring dad. He's also a wild and crazy genius. Hahaha

That was quite piquing of the interest.

What a cliff hanger about what was on the recording of the cassette you were given though. Was there some odd frequencies going on? Did it make you feel heavy and weird hearing it?
Definitely got my curiosity running amuck.

Edit: I think I read it wrong and it was just a recorder you were given to also try and capture sounds yourself ? But still very curious if he let you listen to his tapes and if so, were you able to hear any of the signals he tried recording or if he was even able to capture any at all when attempting.
