What is this? I really don't know how to make heads or tails on this one. I was listening to last.fm and some of the strangest ambient noise started playing. I ran a google search on the artist and was led here.
One of the most unique pages I've ever seen. There seems to be a lot going on with this page. (Notice the poetry that appears on the index page for 1/3 second before refreshing to the main index map). In addition to having copies of the I Ching and the Kama Sutra (no pics) there is poetry and literature spanning back 2000 years, yet nothing I could find about the the original artist I was looking for.
Has anyone run into this before or know what it's all about? And what are your thoughts?

There's the PDF linked on the front page that has a lot of information.

Y'know, I can imagine myself cueing these beats to Plastikman
on a rainy evening, and listening to the final mix in the dark--
--What am I saying? I'm the good twin!

Well, the Oblique Strategies reference is obvious enough. That, and the random I Ching hexagram generator, suggests an interest in sortilege and aleatory composition.
