The Aphex Twin Face - Spectrograms are the new "Paul is Dead".
In other music news... Pitchfork Media reviews the latest Terrell Owens joint. Cultures! Clashing!
Yeah, I'm with Nate. This is t3h l@m3. But, really, just the other day I was wondering what it would look like to plot the spectrogram of the last 10 seconds of track 5 of Beth Orton's new album on a log-log plot. It was a picture of Rob Halford baking cookies in his suburban Tucson, Arizona kitchen. Ok, now what about hiding images in the Fourier transform of the sonic spectra. That would be primo geeky to the max.
Oh, snap! Add a Halford Banner to your web site and receive a FREE T-shirt!!!!
Well, get on it!
shirts come in L and XL only.
I wonder if they came to supply only those sizes after doing a demographic study of metalheads.

I hate to be a hater, but this idea is just too obscure. Aphex Twin can get away with this because it isn't far outside of his genre, but when I read the sentence
"MetaSynth is a Mac-only application that can take any image and generate sounds from it. The software was widely used in The Matrix to accompany the movie's mind-bending bullet-speed special effects."
I can only think, "Holy shit, why? Don't you have actual important things to worry about putting into your movies over an unidentifiable squawk sound that no one would ever think to visualize with a spectrograph?" That's just retarded.
