I actually do think, that this line was included in Music is Math to try and show what Boards of Canada is all about. They literally take sounds from the past, and recreate them, manifest them into the present. They are auditory time travelers, and create a bubble in their music that is the past, but recontextualized with the present.

Maybe that's what they're trying to do here, link us back to older clues in order to change our perception and meaning of them. But just a thought. I'm probably overthinking things.

Starting to doubt the activity was hinting at anything new. Rather to point at a clue from the past.

I'm just imagining it when all this is in the past if we'll ever get a statement like "yeah that video on the fb was just for random lolz haha" I just kinda can't believe it..

little ot from the past events: I was searching about the meaning of the AtalantaFugiens Youtube channel name and I think that maybe it might be related to the Italian artist Daniele Lombardi. He made an exhibition called Atalanta Fugiens in Florence in 1992 and he also released an album called Metropolis (check out AF avatar on Youtube) which is very interesting:

Even if it is then and just for lulz, I think sometimes we take them way too seriously (I’m guilty as hell) and forget the hints of humor built into albums. TH in all its foreboding nature even has “Come To Dust”, which I can’t help but read into as deadpan erotic humor.

Off wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atalanta_Fugiens
Atalanta Fugiens or Atalanta Fleeing is an emblem book with an alchemical theme by Michael Maier (1568–1622), published by Johann Theodor de Bry in Oppenheim in 1617 (2nd edition 1618). It consists of 50 discourses with illustrations by Matthias Merian, each of which is accompanied by an epigrammatic verse, prose and a musical fugue. It may therefore be considered an early example of multimedia.

Fugues are short pieces or as one would say, interludes. Someone else was making those more recently, but my mind is blank.

No worries, I also noticed that Metropolis avatar but thought it is probably not worth checking out. Maybe it is.

That would be very sad and disappointing if that was truly the case. Especially since the troll would either be creating fake FB pages to mislead people or hacking into them. That's way worse than the Catherine Fell stuff because Geoghandi simply made a post on reddit that people believed and bought into.

Really hope that's not the case. Fingers crossed. :] Definitely a mixture of hype and trepidation right now until we're officially confirmed.

Yeah, if the troll/hoax stuff was true, then that would be a MASSIVE breach of privacy. Something we've frankly never seen in this community. How low do you have to be to hack into an official account of the brothers, that's breaching their privacy and would probably make BoC dislike us more.

I can't believe that this would be the case for a week soon and there to have been no clarification or calling out from official sources..

time will tell as always I guess

I'm not sure why, but I have a feeling that we're overlooking something crucial here. Like they're waiting for us to find it...have we missed something?

yeah I have felt this since the fb went black but I can't figure out what it could be we missed.. only thing I can think of is that there is something hidden in the video, but that feels like a reach..

All you can really do is list out all the social media and presumed social media accounts and check em out. Either that or look into the black screen.

I think if this isn't a troll, it's definitely a red moon kind of thing. After all, they're probably biding their time while they wait for the release window to open up again after May with Seefeel and Squid.

the only commonality within the Hell Interface Whitney Houston photo and James Brown vid is that there are ideas floating around that both of them (bare with me) sold their souls to the devil for the rise to fame. I do not have any screen shots but if you search enough, you will see what I mean. I have spent hours on end searching trying to not go crazy or post any false leads here but I can not deny that there is some correlation between James and Whitney/Hell Interface. Or at least an idea connecting them all.

I apologize if I am reaching too far considering I only want to try and contribute. I am new to this forum so I want to show respect but I would rather speak up than not say anything in case any of you fine people may have a better grasp than I do.

In example, on YouTube, I searched "Hell Interface James Brown" and the third video I noticed in line with all of their other videos was a video titled "James Brown & the Devil". Now, I am not saying that this particular video is anything at all because the video is kind of stupid and it has a ton of views but it is worth a note.

Side note: If you search "Inferno Alliance" on YouTube, there is a channel there with no subscribers (except for me now of course) but it does translate to "Hell Interface" as well. I simply attempted arranging a ton of words together and that was the only one that popped up with an actual channel. No significant date, banner, profile picture but a video titled "Some Meme" with Han Solo and Greedo in A New Hope that makes fun of EA and the Average Customer and a 10 hour loop of some "Gas Gas Gas" song. I could be so far off but like I said, better mentioned than not.

Side side note: I also apologize if this has been mentioned before but I ran the newest Facebook profile pic and banner of BoC that are the same photos they had before but randomly changed (via exifinfo.org & metadata2go.com) and they do have binary embedded in them. I have seen this before in other steganography "games" and that it is common for the Red, Green, and Blue Tone Reproductions to have 64 bytes of binary data within but I just wanted to point this out in case anyone might be able to dig deeper than me. I may be going just a little insane.

Happy hunting.

Hmmm.. I tried to run another photo off some other fb page through exifinfo to see if that binary data could be a fb thing but no other gave me the same result. Also what's up with its quality? it looks like it was badly cut out from somewhere. Was it always like this?
edit: yes the old one was also like this

Still not sure about this. Can someone else who is more skilled in image stuff check this? Think it was already pointed out that this was nothing but just in case.

It is nothing. Extracted it and it contains a tag which some image softwares use to further identify the image, what to do with it etc. Some other unrelated fb fan page pics also have binary inside.

I've decided to write this post addressed to the band and their handlers, especially if they're reading the forum as we occasionally feel they are: Can we get a moment of clarity please?

I've been following everything since 2019 with Societas and I feel it's gotten progressively stranger and stranger with the conspiracy theories and numerology on the forum transforming into trolls with their own false leads and now, we've gotten to the point where we cannot distinguish what's official and what's not.

Is what's going on now some strange marketing campaign from the band, or a troll who managed to hack their accounts, or even the band trolling their own fanbase? I wish I knew the answer.

I really get the feeling that this is all a commentary.. In a way, I still find this fun because it makes light of something a lot darker going on in society where you don't know who to trust anymore.

Perhaps we'll even get a BOC album that's all about these smoke and mirrors with even more convoluted song titles than before. Or perhaps things won't even be labeled like Societas X Tape, it'll just be tracks with no names.

But whatever it is, I hope soon the light shines on the true answer and I'm there to see it. So let's hope this post is read by the powers-that-be. :)

And thanks for reading this post. Simply writing my true feelings about this matter.

My theory is that they are releasing music out of there, even through accounts we think are just owned by fans, and they want to make us to look for it.
