If anyone is serious about solving this puzzle, go to the original reddit thread - https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/ghsem7/a_puzzle_to_celebrate_the_halving_solve_it_to_win/

It contains the hints from the author and discussions from users. One user found images inside the spectrograms of songs, which seem to be important to this puzzle.

At first when I saw the hint about wav files I though it's something as simple as embedding seed words inside the track, but by reading comments is realized that the puzzle is way too complex for me.

It's not a bad way to promote Bitcoin. Puzzles like this one aren't for me, but now that I've noticed something weird, I am trying to figure this out  Grin And the music isn't bad itself. Oh, I just can't figure that one out, I suppose. It's the glitch in the video close to the end which is visible sometimes through the preview images but not when I try to actually watch and find it. In any case, it's probably not the answer. Good luck to those who are willing to take the task more seriously than I did and solve the puzzle! I'm interested what the answer is going to be.

^ I am not a musically inclined person but I find this as another form of advertisement where more and more individuals will have an idea or be more curious about bitcoins. This can be considered as a huge promotion for bitcoin especially there is a prize waiting for the winner who can solve the puzzle in the album and that may entice everyone especially those who love treasure hunting will take this challenge and later may decide to invest in bitcoin. Nevertheless, I will pass on this for I am not a musically inclined individual and I am also poor in treasure hunting games.

Logic Beach, an instrumental, non-verbal techie sounding music group release a new album with a little treasure hunting game as they hid bitcoin in the album.
Herman Felker, the person behind Logic Beach posted on Reddit that he had hidden the seed to a wallet inside his latest album. The amount of bitcoin hidden was 0.03 (+0.02) BTC. He also added that,
Quote
"'Bifurcations' by Logic Beach is a Lo-Fi, Synth-Glitch, experimental project I've put together to celebrate the halving and to have a bit of fun. You will need the Lossless versions of the songs to solve this thing. (download the .wav files)."

He also noted that the sales of his album will be added to the prize, although users can still access the album for free on a site called Bandcamp. According to Felker, the puzzle isn't that difficult, and he's not expecting that this treasure hunting will last that long. He also wanted the winner can share his method on Reddit but if he chooses to be anonymous, that's also fine for him.

Quote
At press time, the album's wallet address, bc1qj7467e7r5pdfpypm03wyvguupdrld0ul2gcutg, still holds the BTC prize. "If no one solves it by May 21, I'll take it down and explain the solution," Felker said in the Reddit post.

Is not this exciting especially for people who love treasure hunting and deciphering codes? In love the idea of how he puts his 12 seed phrase secretly in his latest album and asking people to solve it. What can you say about this?

I may not be a fan and good at this challenge, but it's interesting and this can be also a good pass time while we are on quarantine. I checked his YouTube account, and you can check his album there. And to be honest, I'm not the type of person who likes that kind of music (but I'm not saying it's not good). And what I think, musically inclined people can find the answer to his wallet. If you're interested, you can also check his album
