Piggy's Day/Pernk Flerd
From Create Your Own Story
Pernk Flerd is an avant-garde band from New Czechoslovakia, started 31992. They have a habit of setting up recording devices all around a single planet or a moon, and make it into an hour-long ambient track. This particular track was eponomyously recorded on the dark side of the moon.
Piggy: "I'll take this. Seems peaceful enough."
Record store employee: "Did'ya that there were large mining operations on the dark side of the moon when this was recorded?"
Piggy: "Really? Huh. So it's not exactly a pleasant listen, then?"
Record store employee: "That depends, man. There also wasn't air on the mining areas, so the record is prob'ly just complete silence, or workers talking in the coffee rooms."
Piggy: "Well, I'm recovering from a mental illness, so that might not be too bad."
You go home to listen to it, but find it more difficult than anticipated. Unlike normal albums, this is composed of hundreads of separate recordings. It has to be listened on a computer, so that you can switch between the recordings at any time.
Swine: "Wow, this is really boring."
Piggy: "I don't know. It's somewhat therapeutic. I think I'll have a jolly old time with this."
After a week of listening to the recordings, three hours each day, you come across something interesting.
Piggy: "Swine! Come and have a listen to this!"
Some of the sounds on the record are indeed from the coffee rooms of the miners. This particular recording has something odd on it.
