Photo of SCP-4463 recovered from Incident 4463-A. Other photos taken of the object show a similar "washed-out" effect, but photos of photos do not.

Item #: SCP-4463

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4463 is currently stored in a passcode-locked box on Site-88. Knowledge of the passcode is restricted to Level-3 personnel. Sound-dampening headsets capable of blocking at least 100 dB are to be kept available to site staff to be used as necessary. It is highly recommended that individuals with noise protection take caution when navigating around a subject or subjects affected by SCP-4463.

Description: SCP-4463 is a portable speaker system in poor shape with notable rusting on the exterior. The manufacturer and serial number are no longer legible, but the item closely resembles the ███ █████ series which ran from 1983 to 1992. Despite its state of neglect, SCP-4463 has only lost functionality in its FM radio playback.

Most cassette playback will produce no anomalous effect, but music that was originally released between January 1, 1980 and December 31, 1999 will be slowed down significantly with frequent skipping and repeating. Recordings of this music produce no effects; subjects must either hear the music directly from SCP-4463's speakers or another speaker connected to SCP-4463's audio-output port.

Music showing the anomalous effect will cause all sentient organisms with hearing capabilities¹ to repeat the first 10 seconds of actions taken at the beginning of exposure. Subjects will be instantaneously transported to their respective starting location with all biological systems reset, meaning all physical needs of the subject could effectively be satiated forever if consistently exposed to anomalous music.

SCP-4463 is available on special request for medical applications to hold patients in stasis while researching or preparing further treatment.

During routine police-radio scanning, we received reports of missing police officers located at the █████-Crossing's Mall on █████ ██, 2011. Every officer the local police sent into the mall was going completely radio-silent, and agents were promptly sent on scene. Shortly before the first group ceased communication, Agent F████ noted strange music was playing over the mall speakers, some of which could be heard through the transmission. Agent F████ repeated this fact every few seconds until we remotely shut down his radio signal.

The second group was sent in with earplugs and noted that every person in the mall was performing normal actions, and then "resetting" to their original location every few seconds. They located the control room for the mall's speaker system and found SCP-4463 placed in front of the announcement microphone playing the 1984 hit █████ ████ by Di███ ████ on cassette. A polaroid photo displaying a distorted picture of SCP-4463 was left behind in the control room's floor with hand-written instructions on operating the object, and setting up this incident.

There were two casualties during the incident— Agent █████████ and ██████, a mall visitor. While attempting to locate the source of the anomalous music, Agent █████████ unknowingly walked in the path of a mall visitor during their "reset," resulting in their deaths.

Post-incident analysis shows music was playing in the mall for approximately 2 days, trapping all existing and new visitors in the mall until police missing persons reports eventually lead to The Foundation discovering the incident. A visitor in the mall, ████████, had just purchased an expensive pair of ████-branded sneakers and proceeded to re-purchase the item 20 times until their card was declined and then accrued an additional 17,260 overdraft fees. Security footage has been reviewed, but all images of the perpetrator are distorted and no identifying details have yet to be extracted from the footage.

Subjects do not remember anything before their most recent "reset." A cover story involving a gas leak was put in place to explain the lost time, and subjects that noted seeing other people "reset" during interviews were given a Class-A amnestic.

ACCESS GRANTED

Document 4463-59, Thaumiel Testing Reports

Item #: SCP-4463
Object Class: Thaumiel
Researcher: ███████████

Preface: The object has a potential to be an effective tool to permanently contain an extremely dangerous humanoid entity. From our findings in Document 4463-58, the only side effects of SCP-4463 discovered in D-class personnel exposed to the anomalous music for long periods of time are: mild visual and audio hallucinations, periodic disassociation with reality, warped sense of time, and deteriorated speech. I have personally selected a group of objects to test, and eventually plan to implement SCP-4463 as a permanent containment solution.

Subject: SCP-076
Date: █████████
Experiment: While SCP-076 was awake, music was piped into its containment cell for 30 seconds.
Results: The subject was not effected by the anomalous music.
Notes: Typical.

Subject: SCP-2833
Date: █████████
Experiment: While SCP-2833 was awake, music was piped into its containment cell for 2 minutes. On ██████████, music was again piped into the containment cell for 12 hours.
Results: The subject was effected by the anomalous music. Additionally, reports in India showed that some instances of SCP-2833-A were effected and located as a result. After approval, music was reinstated to potentially kill hosts of SCP-2833-A not currently in containment.
Notes: Autopsy reports of infested subjects showed the repeating actions of the parasites over time would cause enough damage to the subject's nervous system, resulting in death.

Subject: SCP-2468
Date: █████████
Experiment: Upon relocation in its containment cell, music was immediately piped in for 30 minutes.
Results: The subject was effected by the anomalous music, and did not escape containment during the testing period.
Notes: It would be impossible to know if SCP-4463 could contain the subject permanently without long-term testing. However, the potential of containing SCP-2468 permanently is enticing and long-term exposure is planned for testing in ████.

Subject: SCP-3542
Date: █████████████
Experiment: While SCP-3542 was awake, music was piped into its containment cell for 30 seconds.
Results: The subject was effected by the anomalous music. [DATA EXPUNGED]
Notes: All further testing on subjects with ontokinetic abilities of any kind has been indefinitely postponed due to the high number of deaths caused by this incident. SCP-3542 was re-contained within 24 hours of the incident.
