- tekstar 6y agoStenography is common, but usually it's just modifying the last bits of an image or hiding the extra payload after the image data. This is "drawing" within the audio spectrum, making the image out of audio that will be audible.

It sits nicely in the mix, but it's also distinct from the actual music - I would say it comes across like a signature rather than a musical element. The other examples in GP's linked article made more effort to produce things that are both musical and paintings in the spectrum, especially the Plaid track.
