To play this game, just write a comment below with your proposed solution. First one to get the answer wins! Have fun!

The title is "Les Phases De La Lune". I think the numbers in the artwork might be relating to some melodies in the song but the title was actually hidden in the video. Because there are seven moon phases in the music video: 00:00 Waxing Crescent 01:00 First Quarter 02:02 Full Moon (for some reasons Waxing Gibbous was omitted) 04:50 Waning Crescent (for some reasons Waning Gibbous and Last Quarter were omitted) 04:55 New Moon 04:56 Waning Crescent 05:05 Last Quarter 05:20 looks like sunrise since it's orange and it's moving upward (this is not a moon phase I guess) P.S., the final part of music which indicate the New Moon switching back to the Last Quarter was amazing!

You are my favorite guitar player of all time and every piece you finish stays with me. You have a great legacy already and you continue to create and inspire after all this time. Never stop, your music is incredible and it's the result of pure passion, obsession and creativity as well as god given talent. love you man, and thanks, honestly

[@dabacosm]

I love your music so much. It’s become the sound track of important points in my life. I have learned a lot from you as a player. ❤️

[@J33zz]

"les sept phases" i guess all the number below the name indicates musical intervals that probably will be on the song. Greetings from Mexico I am big fan of you.

[@thruthewirelive]

"Les Sept Phases De La Vie" translating to "The Seven Stages of Life"

[@thruthewirelive]

I came to this by connecting the dots of your comment in the beginning about life, Then the 7 in the artwork and i just remembered learning about the 7 phases of life. Life, meaning, purpose, mission, goal, journey, and moment

[@thruthewirelive]

Or it could be based on the 7 stages of development

[@cascade9584]

I'M GONNA BE UPDATING THIS COMMENT AS I GO Ok, so. 7 notes in a musical scale. The number 7 is not used anywhere on the cover except as the second to last symbol in the title, substituting the letter 'E'. I actually did the obvious thing and spelled out the numbers using note names (in C, because that's standard and also because the tune is largely in the key of C minor). This yielded zero results, whatever string of letters that came out was utter nonsense in whatever language, read either horisontal, vertical or diagonally. I have reason to believe pursuing another similar option such as solfege will not yield in anything either. So nothing there, but maybe the number of numbers under each letter could be something to hold on to. It could also still be that 3 (E) and 6 (A) represent vowel sounds in the actual words, and that 1,2,4,5 represent consonants. Or the inversion of that. so we're gonna hold on to those strings of numbers. We can also just tally up the amount of numbers, that could be an indication of how many letters are in the words. So it's P. H A. S. 7. S 10. 11 9. 12 10. 12 Don't know if that's gonna matter yet. Next, the clue is that the full title might not be in English. He wouldn't say that if it was in English, so we can rule out English. The obvious next choice would be French. They have the word 'phases' as well. Although, if the numbers above corresponds to word length, perhaps German should be considered. They have the word 'phase' but not 'phases', the plural in German is 'phasen'. Alright that's all I got so far, can't wait to see the video. oh, and I see all y'all just saying stuff like 'Les sept phases' etc. without showing any of your work. cmon do better;)

[@AntoineDufour]

Good stuff! Keep it up

[@UltraInstinctJosie]

I wanna say the full title is: Phases of the Moon

I'm trying to solve this for like 7 hours now. For a brief moment I could feel the solution right in my hands, but I still have no clue. The last thing I found out is that in the leftmost part of the pattern, there are a 2 or even 3 possibilities to get "lune" - (12-21-14-5) in alphabet position - if you jump from number to number, always ending on the middle 5 below the last S column. But thats seems more like some odd coincidence to me. I have to give up now, I am already 10 mins late for an appointment, I have for the evening. May some other brave guitarist find the solution!

[@irvingsherwood1234]

Ok here's the problem with youtube: Im subscribed to this channel, this came out 3 months ago, and It never came up on my feed - I had to search Antoine just to see if anything was new, because instead I get kiddie-baited, I guess by qanon at the controls, and then miss the important things. Clean your house, youtube. Sorry Antoine, that needed to be said. Keep on rockin' in the free world.

[@samuelj.rivard]

"les sept femme de barberousse" 😂😂😂 (c'est un vrai film btw un classic)

[@HungarianGuitarist]

Hi Antoine, im on this decoding stuff from the beginning and i tried a lot of things maybe numbers means letters in musical scale do re mi fa so la si do or ABCDEFG but i didn't find out but i came up with something, but i would like to know if there is any good in my logic. So we know that repetitive sequence 61656452126153- 14 numbers. I made a circle, or a clock looking thing and i draw 6 line with the 6 column sequence there are under the 6 letters to find out why there is longer and shorter codelines. So i found that the the 6 drawn lines turning counterclockwise, or it could be Phases of the moon if i turn every line in North to South, as we know that the moon or Lune has something to do in the title... BUT returning to the math in every line there is missing numbers from the repetitive sequence. So from the first column to the last the missing numbers are 6153 126 64521 56 6165 36 i tried to find letters in that but nothing really seems to be working BUT these numbers last digit 361656 fits in the 14 digit sequence is that 6 digit will be the key maybe? Its in C major scale EACAGA could be a guitar tuning? lol or Mi La Do La So La or CFAFEF in standard scale but its weird... Im going crazy a bit with this challenge but i love it thanks for the hint in advance

[@AntoineDufour]

Thanks for playing! Great try! aprymac found it and I'm gonna make a video about it soon! Subscribe for the update! Cheers

So excited for the contest!! How can I submit a valid answer once I get it? Can I comment it here?

[@AntoineDufour]

Yes, comment here the proposed solution

[@AntoineDufour]

You guys are doing really good!! Keep it up! By the way, yes, the title is in French…

[@samuelj.rivard]

have you got sponsor by Tynelol? haha

[@rp-lopez]

Haha this is really cool, excited to try to crack the code - quick question, anyone else getting a "this video is private" message when you click on the YT link?

[@AntoineDufour]

Yes, it should be available when the song is released. In a few hours

[@rp-lopez]

@@AntoineDufour awesome, thank you and can't wait!

I got something: Since Antoine liked the "Sept Phases De La Lune" by Mike Bruce, I am pretty shure that's the answer. "Sept phases" can be cut out I think since we have it already in the written title. Hence, "De La Lune" stays. If you translate that into the letter's position in the alphabet, you get "4-5;12-1;12-21-14-5" All consist of digits below 7. Could there be a connection to the pattern? Edit: These are by the way 12 digits, which is just twice the number of columns.

[@AntoineDufour]

You're on a good track! Keep it up!

This riddle is really hard. I was thinking whether I should post my findings here, since it would help the others to solve it, but who cares? It's a game right? Let's play together! I found so far that the numbers below the letters are a repeating pattern. It goes like this: (P)6(S)165(VII)6(S)4521(A)26(H)153 / 61656452126153 which consists of 14 numbers. However, I can't recognze it. It is neither pi nor Euler's number. Antoine could have just rolled a dice to create it. At first I thought this was some kind of tab, since the 6 columns could represent the guitar strings, but that didnt bring me any further. The hint in the video is obviously the moon (fr: lune, rus: luna, ger: Mond). However, the moon is usually considered to have only 4 phases: new, 1st quarter, full, 3rd quarter. So, 7 phases of the moon doesn't really make sense (at least in astronomy).

[@AntoineDufour]

You got good points!! Keep it up!

@@AntoineDufour Could it be that the title makes use of some English or French idiomatic phrase or word play? In this case I'm afraid I'm out. My mother tongue is German, so it might be impossible for me to recognize it. :/

[@AntoineDufour]

@ I will help with the title soon. I'm just letting people get somewhere before and I'll give more clues soon. Stay in touch here!

[@weirdchristmasweirdchristm1127]

All the digits are 1 thru 6. No 7890. Six guitar strings. Is this tab? ;)

@@weirdchristmasweirdchristm1127 As I wrote above, I thought so, too. However, it didn't lead me anywhere.

Saw the moon on the video for the song

[@thruthewirelive]

Les Phases De La Lune

[@thruthewirelive]

Or "Phases De La Lune"

[@AntoineDufour]

@@thruthewirelive You got the title right. Now how? lol!

[@thruthewirelive]

@AntoineDufour well when i saw your comment that you agreed with someone on there only being 4 phases of the moon with 7 day cycles for a total of 28 days, that's when i knew that the VII in the artwork wad merely a clue and not actually a part of the song title. So based on that and the moon appearing in the videp.... I figured that The Phases of the moon had to be the full title

[@thruthewirelive]

@Antoine Dufour Was I first?

Post answers to this video? Or the new single's video

[@Watsk3burt]

Hello Antoine, I know the riddle has already been solved and from the winning answer, it seems that the numbers are not really related to the title of the song. I however still have a couple of questions....is there a specific reason why the sequence of numbers, in each row has 1 number missing in order to be linked to the next sequence of numbers? For example; the repeating sequence is 61656452126153. This is repeating and in each row, but there is 1 number missing in order to link it to the next one, where the missing numbers are (616563)?! I was really thinking it has something to do with the riddle but it seems not :( Also, I was thinking that the offset of the recurring sequence has something to do with the word "phases", where the sequence seems to be out of phase with one another...

Anyone already got from the Number Chaos to "de la lune" in the right way?

[@AntoineDufour]

Hey Könich! I’d like to be in touch with you for sending you a gift! Do you have a Facebook account? You can write me there if you can: m.facebook.com/antoinedufourguitar

[@thruthewirelive]

What's the right way? He said that phases was part of the title, told us it was in french... There's a moon in the video. I'm not a multilinguistic codebreaker so other than the VII in the artwork, the other numbers weren't really necessary to figure it out. I thought for sure I commented the full french title first but i guess someone beat me to it. Hopefully I at least contributed to the solution for whoever broke the code "the right way" lol

[@danielsundquist955]

Hello Antoine, First of all, you are amazing and the song is great. I believe that it is called 7 phases. In the artwork, the E is spelled out as a 7 (VII) which is why "7" could be the missing word. Also, it fits in with your clue about the fact that the title isn’t necessarily in english, as “7 phases” could also be said in French (“sept phases”). To write the song, I believe that you generated a code which repeats itself under each letter in the artwork. Something like this: 16564521261536, etc. Each number would correspond to a note in a scale, or even a chord in a key. You then used different starting points of this repeating pattern to create chords and melodies. For example, the code: “361656” in D# Major sounds to me like it could correspond to the melody which starts at 0:17. “2615” could correspond to the first four chords of the song (in D# Major: 2 = Fm, 6 = Cm, 1 = D#, 5 = A#). Both of these lines of code come from the repeating line of code that I cited above. Therefore, using different “phases” of the code for different parts of the song, you created this piece of music - "7 Phases". /Daniel

Hm, sounds plausible. But why would he leave out the 7th all the time? I mean the 7th might sound odd from time to time, but I think Antoine has enough composing skills to deal with it, right?

[@danielsundquist955]

​@ If the code was generated randomly or somewhat randomly, or if the melodies "had to follow" the string of numbers, then the 7 would definitely clash with some cords which is why it would have been left out. For example, 1 as a baseline with 4 + 7 together in a major scale, would probably not have sounded good in this song

@@danielsundquist955 Or it was indeed randomly, but using just a normal dice. Hence no 7. And by the way: If you add the numbers you get 53. That is just 4 more than the average of 14 dice rolls (which is 49). It is thus not unlikely that Antoine really used a dice.

[@AntoineDufour]

Very good remark indeed!! That’s not the answer but you got something!!
