1101

Scoobert Doobert · KŌAN · 2022 · From KŌAN

KŌAN LP-only binary easter egg: ASCII spells scoobert doobert dot pizza slash save san diego: the site URL as a song.

ISRC QZHN32255316 (soundexchange)

Track twenty-one on KŌAN, LP-only fourth movement (with September, Get the Funk Out of My Head, 4:20 pm, Miss Disinformation, to everyone who had a good pandemic). Not on the KŌAN A/B/C chapters. Luke solo.

The entire lyric is 7-bit ASCII in binary, one byte per pair of octets. Decoded:

scoobert doobert dot pizza
slash save san diego

Read as a path: scoobertdoobert.pizza/save/sandiego, the artist site as the song. Save San Diego as joke mission statement, the hometown encoded instead of sung. Title 1101 is binary for 13 in decimal, and also reads like a date (11/01) if you want a second layer. The track doesn’t explain which.

Same KŌAN internet thread as All My Friends Live on the Internet (friends as packets) and High Society (delete social media, lose the party invite), but here the payload is literally machine language. A palate cleanser between September (cover) and Get the Funk Out of My Head.

Written, performed, and mixed by Luke Francis Walton. Mastered by Riley Knapp. Artwork by Grizzard Graphics.
