By My Hand

I feel that it was my fault, as if it were by my hand. The two of us drifted apart recently, and he decided to do something special for my 18th birthday. Something that he said would "push the boundries of known sound". Something he said would make me happy. But, that is not what happened. During his experiment, something occurred. I did not witness the incident with my eyes, but with my ears. By the time I got there to help him, there was nothing but what can only be assumed to be his rеmains. And a recording. His final recording. Although it is slightly damaged, I am rеleasing it in the hopes that someone could identify the sound that occurred before the silence. Before the fire. And before his death.

From this point on, I will continue with his experiments, until it reaches it's 25th track, then I'll make a decision on whether or not the experiments shall continue. I will continue on in his place under the name 'The Mad Machinista' until the 25th track is released, eveything else I release will be under the name 'MachinistaFKK'. The 18th track of the experiments only consists of 18 seconds of silence, which we can use as a way of remembering him. J. R. has done a variation of "18 Seconds", which has been released alongside this letter and the final recording. J. R. will also take over the visual side of the experiments.
