June 2017, Amsterdam, NL: It is with the utmost urgency that we report the conclusions of our experiments with controlled doses of 4-ho-met, codenamed ST004. As instructed, we met up with agent 23, who introduced us to the test subject– code name ben penn – who was ushered into the bunker for immediate testing. In order to observe his reactions, penn was injected with a modified dosage of 4-ho-met and locked inside with only and handful of electronic machines for company. The subject immediately began acting strangely. It quickly became clear that 4-ho-met was increasing his capacity to produce music. Afterwards, penn was able to play us two audio interpretations of his experience. He was visibly shaken.
The first penn called: “spare hobby”. He described the resultant musical translation as “higher level inter-dimensional funk”. His utterances while under the influence of 4-ho-met were captured partly using a device the subject described as “a vocoder”. His capability to form complex melodic structures was striking.
The second interpretation was titled “carrera” and composed during a period of vivid hallucination. The subject sweated profusely throughout and became obsessed with driving electronic drums. He told of seeing purple-coloured ghosts, which he attempted to portray musically via wild synthesizer flourishes and what he said was called a “bass line”.
It is our belief that immediate action must now be taken in order to control the spread of 4-ho-met amongst the wider civilian population.
