is there any link between BBC Radio 1 and "synthesizer"?vitwelrel wrote:1977 / snow / computing / amateur footage / beards / synthesizer

I was a little shaky on that too, that seems to probably be the best guess. Since we KNOW that's the 6th number, I guess it's irrelevant. I still say 1977 (the first number) will be on TV today.Dmitrii wrote:is there any link between BBC Radio 1 and "synthesizer"?vitwelrel wrote:1977 / snow / computing / amateur footage / beards / synthesizer

i mean, we can say that synthesizer is related to music and music and music is related to radio but come on!
Well on the other thread, somebody else predicted that an ad could air during 10 O Clock Live on Channel 4 tonight. And (clutching at straws) at least two of the hosts have...beards.Opothecary wrote:I was a little shaky on that too, that seems to probably be the best guess.

it very well could be that 2 of the clues come from TV, the same way 2 came from radio and 2 (more or less) came from the internet/social media.Ken Cosgrove wrote:Well on the other thread, somebody else predicted that an ad could air during 10 O Clock Live on Channel 4 tonight.

Very interesting stuff. It's like we're spies in the field, receiving the information. Love thistomkaa wrote:Just had a look at The Conet Project on wikipedia, and the xxxxxx/------/ etc code appears in the main article - who put it there?
Well there was/is the BBC radiophonic workshop, which was somewhat of a pioneer in electronic music, with people like Delia Derbyshire, Daphne Oram, John Baker, among others. The Dr. Who theme song was made there.Dmitrii wrote:is there any link between BBC Radio 1 and "synthesizer"?vitwelrel wrote:1977 / snow / computing / amateur footage / beards / synthesizer

The Association of Public Radio Stations was a radio network in the United States from 1973 to 1977.
It was formed on May 24, 1973, becoming the main public radio representative to federal agencies and Congress after National Educational Radio (NER) dissolved in June 1973. In 1977 it merged with National Public Radio (NPR), which was then primarily a distributor of radio content. It was only after this merger that NPR became the broader public radio body it is today.
Yeah, I've been reading all these threads since this whole mess started and I still don't understand how the hell someone got THAT from the numbers. At least wait until we have the entire sequence before the true batshit-crazy ideas start flyingoswellmh wrote:Can we lay the whole "1977 / snow / computing / amateur footage / beards / synthesizer" thing to rest, please.

I guess there is every chance that AtalantaFugiens just happened to use those particular words as tags for the Julie & Candy video.harpoon dodger wrote:Yeah, I've been reading all these threads since this whole mess started and I still don't understand how the hell someone got THAT from the numbers.

those words appeared AFTER the record was found. I think the earlier clues (computing and amateur footage) match up better, but I suppose its hard to find good words to tie into radio broadcasts. I think the TV ones will be more obvious (yes, I really think there will be 2 TV clues)Ken Cosgrove wrote:I guess there is every chance that AtalantaFugiens just happened to use those particular words as tags for the Julie & Candy video.harpoon dodger wrote:Yeah, I've been reading all these threads since this whole mess started and I still don't understand how the hell someone got THAT from the numbers.

Seeing as the video has been there since late 2009, I'd say that's the case. Clearly they've been planning this for a while, but I think saying that they've been planning it for that long is a stretch. They would have had to plan the rest of the hunt around those words.Ken Cosgrove wrote:I guess there is every chance that AtalantaFugiens just happened to use those particular words as tags for the Julie & Candy video.harpoon dodger wrote:Yeah, I've been reading all these threads since this whole mess started and I still don't understand how the hell someone got THAT from the numbers.

Not true. Some additional words appeared after, but snow / computing / amateur etc has been there for years.Opothecary wrote:those words appeared AFTER the record was found.
All those people left when synths came in because they loved musique concrete so much and couldn't get on with the more limited palette.Keeoaddi wrote:Well there was/is the BBC radiophonic workshop, which was somewhat of a pioneer in electronic music, with people like Delia Derbyshire, Daphne Oram, John Baker, among others.

Hey Alzado! Old times etc.Alzado wrote:You guys manipulating the numbers, plotting coordinates and figuring out hex values are amazing.
But I’m guessing this is simpler than all of that. It seems they are broadcasting their own numbers station. Numbers stations are uncrackable if they use a one time pad for deciphering. My guess is this code will be cracked the same way a numbers station message is decoded – using a decryption pad that would have to be given to us somehow. Without that pad, I’m guessing it would be impossible to decode it.
Has anyone considered the possibility that the images they displayed during the infamous Red Moon Incident may be the one time pad or otherwise be related to this?
Note in the “eyes” image, the red moon is reversed making the double zero appear on the right side of the image. Could that be an instruction to reverse the fourth hint broadcast on NPR yesterday – 699742?
Could the numbers displayed under the moon and under the eyes be the pad needed to solve boc’s number station? if so, all we need to do is figure out how the number sets correspond to the pad and we can begin decoding. we don't need all 6 to begin.

For a couple of days now i've thought that the little boc "attention" loop at the start has the same melodic sequence as this; http://freemusicarchive.org/music/The_C ... czech_lady they've taken it apart and made it their own, in a similar way to the little "A-Team" riff in "Oscar See Through Red Eye" which was dissected by Enzzi ; https://soundcloud.com/enzzi/84-researchoswellmh wrote:Can we lay the whole "1977 / snow / computing / amateur footage / beards / synthesizer" thing to rest, please.

PS having listened to the rip of the 12", http://www.tunescoop.com/play/313832303139/936557-mp3 , the background fuzz is definitely made out of a recording of the Cherry Ripe numbers station. Not only in terms of the call-sign melody, but also at 0:09 the repeated tones that are played right before the 'message' segment.
There are also recognisable parts from other numbers stations in the other messages. I'd say they're just there for flavour, though.
