The Faust Cycle

Ergo Phizmiz · 850 min

Ergo Phizmiz’s The Faust Cycle, also called The House of Dr Faustus, is a long-form radiophonic fable written and recorded between 2006 and 2009. A parcel delivery opens the story of a labyrinthine house, told through speech, songs, collage and sound design. The source divides the work into five chunks and credits contributors including James Nye, Margita Zalite, Martha Moopette, Bela Emerson and Zenith Pitts, with cello/electronics, voices, trumpet, violin and field recordings identified in particular sections. Its detailed cue notes describe scenes within those chunks; they are not a conventional list of short standalone songs.

Selected edition: 5-file FLAC edition from the documented source. 5 audio files, 4,085,621,703 bytes and 850:22 of measured audio.

Verification: source size and MD5; full audio decode; every torrent piece; canonical route failure recovered from freshly advertised official HTTPS storage replica; exact published original bytes and MD5 preserved. The seedbox copy matched every file’s SHA-256 and every torrent piece; all files passed public HTTPS range, length and byte checks. The house client verified the complete payload and is seeding it.
