Phreque ("freak") was launched in August 1999 as a repository slash self-indulgent creative trophy case for whatever popped out of my head. In 2007, fiddling with Nintendo controllers gave it justification to add a full-blown webstore, and with that shiny new store came the need to think of more stuff to fill it with. Shortly after the webstore's addition, Epiloguemusic.net - the musical counterpart to Phreque.com - was merged with this one creating the Phreque you see here. Now that keeping the Thinkshop stocked and new music/sketches/videos/products coming is a big enough part of my daily life, a few policies have been put in place. These include but are not limited to: 1) All scrap plastic, metal and batteries are recycled. 2) The whole operation is powered by biogas and wind. And beer. 3) All packaging supplies are recycled. 4) Lead-free solder is used for electronic modifications. 5) Making Phreque's stock generates less than two pounds of actual trash annually. 6) Only environmentally friendly cleaning agents are used to scrub components. And hey... how many other sites boast free zombies with every order? I don't know either.
Aside from the shop, there is nothing on Phreque that requires any kind of registration. You're free to gawk unabashedly at all music, articles, images and such. Unless otherwise noted, all content of this site is © Jacob Talkington (Phreque's creator). For a list of works and more information, visit www.jacobtalkington.com.
Other stuff to know - This site is a showcase of my tangle of hobbies - not a business. All items available in the shop are made by hand in my spare time. By supporting Phreque with word of mouth, sharing the music, and bringing others in to see, you help perpetuate this creative process. Thanks for your support! (And for what it's worth, I know the site can look ugly in IE. The it's only cosmetic, but it's resultant of my lack of willingness to work around a broken browser.)
