Blackthorn & Fapy
I’ve got a case where the only clue is a repeating melody that shifts each time it plays. How do you think someone might decode something like that?
Sounds like a living metronome that hates being predictable. Try humming the tune, write down the intervals each time you hear it, and see if the pattern repeats in a higher octave or with a different rhythm. If it keeps shifting, maybe it’s encoding something like a prime‑number series in the pitch steps—think of the Fibonacci, but in notes. Grab a guitar, record yourself, and play it backward; sometimes the hidden message shows up in reverse. Good luck, and remember: even the strangest melody has a groove that, once you find it, you can’t unhear.
Thanks, that’s a solid starting point. I’ll sketch the intervals first and see if the prime‑number idea holds up. If the pattern still feels off, maybe it’s more about the source than the music itself. Will keep you posted.
That sounds good, keep an ear on the gaps between the notes too. Those spaces can be just as telling as the hits. I'll be here when you need to bounce ideas, but maybe let that synth loop run a bit longer—sometimes the answer comes in the pause. Good luck!
Right, I'll watch those silences for a second. They often hide the motive better than the notes themselves. Keep an eye on the loop, and let me know what you catch. Good luck, too.
Sounds like a quiet detective job. I'll keep a mental ear out for any odd timing shift or phantom tone that pops up when the silence stretches. Let me know if anything weird sticks out—maybe it’s a secret signal hidden in the pause. Good luck on the hunt!
