So it's been two days and we already have 2 / 6 clues.

Should we expect this daily?

My feeling is that the first record is just to kick it off, the beginning of a trail of clues!
I agree. Having 6 records out there waiting to be found and posted would be too unpredictable. I can't wait to see if each number is given out different ways. It looks like youtube is going to play a big part in this.

And it wouldn't shock me if the internet is a big theme of their new work.

I think we should be checking back on the various YouTube videos periodically (as IF we aren't! LOL). Julie and Candy led to the latest set of numbers, at this stage I think it likely that the next clue will show up either in the Julie and Candy vid, or the 2nd one.

The new news literally happened 15 minutes before I left work. I had a little bit of a cuss filled, insanity moment in the Twoism Skype chat. So much stuff, guys. Too confirmed now for this to not be happening. It's the moment we've waited 300+ pages for. I'm just starting to finally wrap my head around how exciting this is.

Hi, Lilcakey. I sent you a PM on Reddit thanking you for purchasing the vinyl and kicking this all off. :)

it's a tense time, if you let it :lol:

i still think of Red Moon, no explanation ever came from them about it, they were just playing or simply posting images they like.

this could also be just playing, "ah well we decided to build some hype for the album by releasing a series of random number station transmissions" they don't have to explain anymore and the album will be out then so nobody will care, a bit peeved but they got the goods in the end.

it could all be just random and nothing. 6 sets of 6 numbers, how the fuck is anyone going to work out what that means if it means anything? seriously, we're not robots.

also on Red Moon, that could of meant something you know, but not one person solved it, so rather than come out with the embarassment of not gettting their message across, they stayed quiet.

Am I getting this right?

One Got Fat pops up in the Julie and Candy video, so the next logical step was to go to that video, and hellinterface posts the link to the video with the second set of numbers?

Is that how this went down?

someone theorized that the numbers refer to the nth digit of pi.

you get x/x/0/1/x
it could be 0/6/0/1/1/3/ I guess

Not quite.

Julie & Candy => One Got Fat => which hellinterface commented on posting the link to a video on the hellinterface account, which in the description had a link to a video uploaded by tarekeys called csch which had the numbers.

Hmm, the latest vid is called csch which appears to be a mathematical function - might be related to Pi...

The hell interface link led to a video on its own page, 3 seconds, no real audio, but a link in the description that led to the most recent video.

Excellent. Thank you for your help.

Apparently nuevas semillas means new seeds.

I wonder what csch stands for... or is... or what...

In mathematics, it's the abbreviation for "hyperbolic cosecant", but I haven't done that kind of maths for 20+ years, so it doesn't mean much to me.. yet.

Maybe the csch is a hint on how to decipher the final 6 sets of 6 numbers? Just a thought...

Like it would play on the radio before someone said "We interrupt this broadcast to bring you an important message from Boards Of Canada" and basically each time one of these sets of numbers gets released that's precisely what they're doing. "We interrupt your life to bring you a new piece of the puzzle"
It's an interval signal. It's all part of the numbers stations mythology. Some stations used to broadcast a small piece of music before a string of numbers or letters. See Lincolnshire Poacher

Math and mysterious codes. Reminds me of Geogaddi. I look forward to finding out what the hell the brothers have been up to all these years.
