The Threshold HouseBoys Choir

The Threshold HouseBoys Choir was a musical guise for Peter Christopherson, announced in 2005 as a follow up endeavor to his former group Coil. Despite the name, it was a solo project which relied heavily on computer generated vocals, of which he was formally credited as the "director." The name was derived from a play on words, combining the terms houseboy, house of boys, boys' choir, and Threshold House.[1] THBC was stationed in Bangkok, Thailand.[1]

gollark: Anyway, to capture screenshots *at all*, you need to redirect the terminal to a framebuffer of some sort, which is slooooow.
gollark: Basically always.
gollark: CC doesn't have good support, and the framebuffer approach would ruin performance.
gollark: I can't really do screenshots easily.
gollark: No, like I said, there is basically no data gathering.
