"Francis E. Dec (1926-1996) was an American lawyer and 'outsider writer' who was best known for his typewritten diatribes that he independently mailed and published from the late 1960s onward. His works are characterized by highly accusatory and vulgar attacks on various subjects, often making use of phrases like "Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God" to slander hierarchies that he believed were engaging in electronic harassment against him. Jeffrey Sconce analyzed the written works of Francis E. Dec in his book 'The Technical Delusion: Electronics, Power, Insanity', within a chapter discussing the phenomenon of 'targeted individuals' *. In it, he states that 'his writing speaks to a feature of technical delusions that became increasingly prominent in the second half of the twentieth century. Dec's screeds are emblematic in their careening, amplified panic over imperious yet chimerical powers that seemingly are everywhere all the time and yet can never be fully confronted or understood.'"
"Among other figures interested in Dec's works were William S. Burroughs and Genesis P-Orridge; the latter used a recording of his voice on the Psychic TV album 'Ultrahouse (The L.A. Connection)'. A 1983 issue of Weirdo by Robert Crumb was based on Dec's works. Other media inspired by Dec's writings include 'Hero in Hell', a series of spoken word performances performed by former KROQ-FM DJ Boyd R. Britton in the 1980s."
* Electronic harassment, electromagnetic torture, or psychotronic torture is a conspiracy theory that government agents make use of electromagnetic radiation (such as the microwave auditory effect), radar, and surveillance techniques to transmit sounds and thoughts into people's heads, affect people's bodies, and harass people. Individuals who claim to experience this call themselves 'targeted individuals.'
"Sofuke Kinhide (a.k.a Kusafuka Kimihide, born 1962) is a Japanese noise artist and an active medical pathologist. Continually searching for his own style through overdubbing (expressing temporal music as spatial art), he named himself 'K2' as the project name in 1983. During this period, he was mainly active in the mail art world. After that, due to his academic career, he stopped his activity until 1993. This period brought a lot of cut-up works using metal junk. Due to work, it was again suspended from 2002 to 2005. This period shifts to harsh noise due to electronic sound using mixer feedback and a large amount of effectors. After that, he focused on noise music using semi-modular and modular synths. Recently he has performed once a year in a trio called 'RNA'."
"Sötlimpa was a punk band from Mölndal outside Gothenburg . The band was formed in 1981 and dissolved in 1984, then reemerging in 1992, 1996 and 2017. They performed up to 100 concerts, released one 7 "EP, one 12" EP, and two cassettes. In 1992 a temporary reunion was made and then a permanent one in 1994 with another lineup (where Hans handed over the drums to his little brother Johan to take over the guitar after Martin dropped out, as well as with Janne on the guitar) that also dissolved in 1996 . In 2017, Sötlimpa was reunited with original members to record a new song which was released in December 2017."
