[PUZZLE?] Music clue in video from text hints

[firefox]

i cannot accept that the video doesn't hide a message. there has to be more to it. sorry just my train of thought- what warrants an email and an update isnt simply a timeline of more updates, but a clue-ed message aswell.


although i am stuck for ideas as to how we tackle the musical challenge. will think about it after i have more time (in the middle of chores).

It could be hiding a million things. But I havent seen anyone else puyt up the musical link that I am seeing. The words seem out of context, but when taken to gether, it sez music

but who knows how many thigns are hidden round? we still have no context, and dont know the rules they are playing it all by....

This may be nothing, as I only have a quicktime player which allows me to play the music backwards only at double speed. When doing this, I swear I can hear normal words like civilisation in there, however, it may just be me trying too hard to listen. Is anyone able to rip the audio out and convert it into an .mp3 or similar, so that we may be able to reverse the audio, chop it up, and anything else thats possible to find the clues, if there are any.

yes the her voice goes very mechanical/robotic in instances, and some of the words do sound ambiguous. and that funky echo... mayhaps we are reading too much into it. better safe than sorry tho. would explain why some words cannot be made out clearly. societies/curtain etc.. maybe they have a backwards meaning also.

About the hidden messages when the audio is played backwards:

I nabbed the audio with Premiere and gave it some hi-res upgrades (made it easier to hear) and exported it. Then I plugged it into Acid Pro and played with playing it backwards... got nothing. *poop*

Not to say there isn't anything, but I didn't find anything.

Tony:

Actually I noticed the musical theme as well, which is exactly why I'm looking for the source of the music. Was it picked for a reason (other than just being kind cool sounding) or what? Either way, it is strange.

I've given up on finding hidden messages in the video, now I'm focusing on the audio.

Marrec: since the video says counterpart thewn counterPOINT the second time, I think its deliberate.

The harp is providing a counterpoint to the main melody. note how the harp isnt given to a single tune phrase but seems to wander all over the place.

for Tranquil Valley, I had wrote a puzzle which never went live of hiding a secret message within the notes of a song. I think we have something like that here.

If anyone can transcribe the musical notes for this, mainly the harp, we may have something. Or nothing, but too much is pointing to something

Before I forget, the code I used for my song went like this

A B C D E F G A
H I J K L M N B
O PQ R S T U C
V W X Y Z D

The music idea was the word translated by the above table. Then a second set of arpregiated noted told the row position, the ABCD column. So for example, the musical notes for puzzle would encode as:

B G F F E E C (hi c) C (hi c) D (hi c) D (hi c) B (hi c) A (hi c)

I am thinking the harp is doing that kind of coding or its own in a similar method.

The flanged is NOt on her voice all the time. Only in certain places. That takes it out from being an artifact....

I'm sure she says - a counterpoint of SUDDEN and often sharp culture shock.

How is counterpoint a musical term anyway?

EDIT-

Never mind, I looked it up.

I think there are probably more words to do with school than to do with music.

Do you not think searching the archiving of the newspapers for items relating to culture shock on the specific dates in the video

also do you not think the 5 second gaps for the date and newspaper relate to something and why is there blank ones half way thorugh

the music words seem to jump out deliberately.
