'Siren's Voice' by plinq
This is some information that i found out about the project, but the main website doesnt exist anymore so there wasnt a lot of information to be found.
*A story in sound made up of 5 scenes and 1 song. A musician on tour hears the voice of a female fan in his head. She claims she is from the future, he thinks he is going mad.
Siren's Voice was originally distributed on Napster as mp3's disguised as existing song titles. People were encouraged to rename downloaded scenes into other existing song titles, creating in effect new 'entrypoints' to the story. In retrospect, Siren's Voice was probably the first 'legal' entertainment content on a p2p network. (http://www.brnrd.net/pages/brnrd_work.shtml#)
* There is a story hidden on Napster. Five soundscape scenes in MP3, disguised as existing song titles. Once you find the first, you can collect them all. You can listen to them in any order. And if you like them, be sure to help spread them further. Siren's Voice is the first story distributed via file sharing technology. It is an experiment aimed to show the potential of file sharing as a distribution channel. Siren's Voice is created by plinq (http://www.plinq.nl), an Amsterdam based digital entertainment company, with support from NetlinQ Framfab (http://www.framfab.nl). Inspired by the legendary radio plays from the Mercury Theatre and Under Milk Wood as well as modern electronic music (Scanner, Biosphere and the likes), we have tried to create a story world in sound that will grab the global audience of Napster users.

* This project is a call to participate in a sort of auditory »paper chase« or Klang-Schnitzeljagd, and shows how Napster & Co. can be used creatively for Hoerspiel and story telling. -The young techno musician Cyanide is haunted by a female voice which talks to him from the future, the year 2101. It promises him fame and fortune and even more. A mere imagination? - If you want to find out more about the voice and the woman you have to join Cyanide, immerse into the filesharing datajungle and search for the elements of the whole story. You will need a mp3-Player (for example Quicktime or Winamp). When you find a Hoerspiel-scene and play it back, you will get, in the window of your player, a hint under which title you can find the next scene on Napster. Anyway: The search is not easy and requires not only patience but also good online-connections. But the more users join the search and share their found scenes (under a slightly altered title) with the Napster-community, the more entrypoints into the Hoerspiel come into existence and help novices to jump in.( from: http://www.swr.de/swr2/audiohyperspace/engl_
