My repertoire of words is unusually shortened today.
Instead of going off on one, I'll just give you a :shock: emoticon and an "Ooh! how cryptic!".

Cannae wait to see what the others think.

Wait. Where did they say this? I must've missed it.

So, desfax has been here interacting all along?

Is there info in that image?

Ah no, the text is from the image, I thought I could see some words so I played around with the brightness until they were possible to read.

I do hope the Whitehorse wonder isn't offended that I went full 'Mystery Machine' Scooby-doo on it. :lol:

That is awesome! I've been trying to tweak it to see the text, too but I am so glad you nailed it.

So shall we call this person(s) Whitehorse? I think that must be the name they're going by.

If so, then Whitehorse, thank you for coming back!

Yes, and I emailed that address.
I received no reply until today, right after the image was posted.
The email was a very spammy looking email saying I had won a Samsung smart phone or something.

Anyone else notice that there is vocal work going on in one or more of the tunes they dropped?
I can't make out if there is any lyrical content, as it may simply be "ooohs" and "aaahs" but I'd love to know more about this music. Like, production-wise and I'd like to know what the message is.

Hello, I've been lurking and started following the mysteries this past week and just registered an account to join in because it's too much fun to watch from the sidelines.

Wanted to point out that jpg is 666x666 pixels. Also the filename of the jpg translates from hexcode to 'use curves'. I looked at the image metadata too but nothing jumped out at me from there.

Just occurred to me that 'use curves' must be referring to adjusting curves in an image editor. Especially modifying some specific colour channels, it makes the hidden text message pop easily. So maybe that's all that was meant by the 'use curves' clue.

This whole Whitehorse project is amazing.
I love the mashup of tarot cards, religion, satanism, whatever, etc.

But most of all I like the music.
I'm hoping we see more soon.

Yes yes, but I'm so impatient! :wink:

Here's a question: is Whitehorse the artist's name? Or is it Desfax?

If Whitehorse is the name (great name, by the way!) then what is Desfax?

Don't call me nutty but I actually thought, the first time I saw 'desfax' that it was BOC's way of saying "the facts". Like they were setting the record straight or something. I know this is way out in left field, and I'm sorry Whitehorse, for possibly turning this thread into a BOC speculation thread.

Now, with that out of the way, I would like to know what the vocals are in the music that has been uploaded, and I'd like to know if it's okay to re-share the audio that was removed and replaced with 43 seconds of Morse code.
The track I'm referring to is 10:40 in length and it suggests in the id3 tags that it is the 'wh Project' which makes me feel like Whitehorse is possibly an album title rather than an artist name? I'm talking in circles, I know.

Whitehorse, can I please share what you removed, or should I hoard it like the greedy mother-effer that I am?

Looks like there's a few likely clues here but I haven't been able to piece anything together yet...

1. If you look closely to the left of the standing man's head, there's what appears to be some very faint text, but it's literally impossible to read at this resolution, which makes me think perhaps there's another version of this image somewhere?

2. The file name is bZy3SfQ, which looks kind of like a youtube video code, but I tried it and there's nothing there. Seems like there must be some significance to those characters? Maybe a shortlink for another site?

3. The image size is 828x502... does 828502 mean anything to anyone? In hexcode it is jibberish, but as a color hex it yellow-green. I tried blending that colour with the main image using all the blend modes but that didn't yield anything notable.

4. No idea what 'access elites 3' might be about, but I did learn that the second definition of elite is "a typewriter type providing 12 characters to the linear inch", which gives us more numbers and measurements interestingly...

New thing I spotted.

Desfax edited the original post after I replied, so I wonder, can anyone see faint white text underneath the image reading "não há nada aqui pelo qual valha a pena morrer" ?

Translation from Spanish: "there is nothing here because it is worth dying."
