The entire Virtual Self project is nothing if not a meticulously planned out world into which fans can completely immerse themselves. With each new teaser or puzzle piece revealed by Porter Robinson, the rabbit hole goes deeper and deeper, and this new hole is especially deep.
With a new website angelangelangelangelangel.com and video (below), the puzzle begins.

The website has a (seemingly) endless string of URL prefixes that reload the page with a set of repeating prompts after you’ve clicked enough times on the page. Examples of corresponding prefixes and prompts include:
- 5739343422888838384324: 𝑆𝐸𝑆𝑆𝐼𝑂𝑁 𝑂𝐹 𝑉𝐼𝑅𝑇𝑈𝐴𝐿𝑃𝐴𝑅𝐴𝐷𝐼𝑆𝐸 ~𝑀𝑀𝑀𝐶𝑀𝑋𝐶𝐼𝑋𝑡𝘩 𝐼𝑁𝑆𝑇𝐴𝐿𝐿~

Some prompts will also include text input areas. According to reddit users, entering “ANGEL” in each prompt will eventually take you to a page with login info for the virtualself.life forum.
As u/TSM_Andrew writes, “On it you can find an interesting conversation between technic_angel and Pathselector where they discuss the remix and share audio snippets of the project.
The remix he refers to is a Technic Angel remix of “Ghost Voices” coming out July 20.
So, get ready for new Virtual Self… erm, Technic Angel, music tomorrow!
