Thanks to the amazing
Fist In The Air for this awesome detective work

The illustrious Madeon has once again blessed us with some new music, in the form of “Technicolor” (which is amazing of course). But he did more than that. He left us some clues, to something. And upon further analysis, whatever he has up his sleeves, he’s been planning for a while, with previous releases. The wonderchild is seriously brilliant. He’s only 19 years old. A master producer. Did you know he also designed all of the artwork? Keep that in mind as you continue on with the post.
We did a lot of digging, and have an idea. But we won’t let you in on the secret just yet. Just know, that Madeon wouldn’t be surprised if it took weeks or months for people to figure out (found this email bit browsing online).
So here are a bunch of clues, but sound off in the comments with what you’re discovered!
Going back to his previous releases….
1) “The Finale” code reads “Finale One Last Time”
2) “The City” code reads “This City Was Ours”
3) The Morse code at the end of “Technicolor” you hear spells “Icarus fell.”
4) Then on newly redesigned site, the additional Morse code under the teaser vid says “type it.”
5) When you type in “Icarus fell” you get “The Secret Is Inside The Pixel Empire” to pop up outta nowhere
6) That secret inside the “pixel empire” most likely refers to the artwork zip file you download from the Buy page has the Front AND Back covers, but if extracted correctly, also has 2 additional image files, ONE.png and TWO.png, with more Morse code.
7) May be nothing, but in analyzing the Front cover, you’ll of course first notice the pixelated building, but upon zooming there’s what appears to be either a 19 or a 49? Maybe part of a date? Albums like to be released on Tuesdays.. and the next 19th that is a Tuesday is December 19th? Probably a stretch and not relevant though.
8) The Morse code ONE and TWO:
9) And it looks like you’re supposed to combine the two files, like so, reading “Came Crashing Down” and “But We Don’t Stop”:
10) The Back Cover text reads “We Can Get It Back”
Finale One Last Time
This City Was Ours
Icarus Fell
Came Crashing Down
But We Don’t Stop
We Can Get It Back
And we’ve already used “The Secret Is Inside The Pixel Empire” … hopefully we don’t need this still
And remember…
“My goal was to tell a story through dance music” – Madeon
A few things to keep in mind:
-He already has a label.. popcultur, so he’s probably not announcing a label.
-But.. he hasn’t announced an album yet? Or a world tour?
-Or maybe it’s just his next single? Could all of the previous hints from the videos have led us to the name “Technicolor” somehow, and all the clues we have now will lead us to the title of his next track?
I would love for all of this to turn into an album title and release date.. but only time will tell!
Now it’s your turn to continue figuring out what story Madeon is trying to tell! Spam our comments.

Really cool stuff. I love how complex and detailed everything has been planned!
