I think it's already reached a practical limit. I could be wrong, but I believe all the fine detail you can see in the above picture is extrapolated using a cunning formula that reads between the lines rather than anything you could properly deduce from an FFT, hence the interesting, fractal-like patterns.

I only mention it because I've hidden text in tracks like that, so it's not a big stretch to assume other musicians do too, and this was in the album released after Windowlicker, in which Richard D. James was known to be putting spirals and photos of his face in tracks. (Remember the SSTV image in Bonus High Frequency Sounds too!) So it's not entirely impossible, just unlikely. But yeah, you're right, it's probably nothing that interesting. And even if it were, listening to music's more fun than treasure hunts anyway. :) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide ZoeB's signature Hide all signatures http://www.zoeblade.com On 5/13/2015 at 9:59 PM, rekosn said: zoe is a total afx scholar Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/76031-does-this-look-like-text-to-anyone/#findComment-1889079 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's fine, you're right, it's probably nothing. I'm just erring on the false positive side, partly as it would be a shame to have a hidden message that no one discovers, and partly as that's what humans are hardwired to do. No apology necessary!

Which I only know because I did it a while back. (Now, if you want to talk about getting obsessive, I guess you could make it so that the three horizontal lines in capital Es make a chord, which would be pretty easy to work out ratio wise, and E's the most common letter in English so it'd be quite useful. But I didn't do that. Of course, you can also simply draw on letters in the piano roll, and make the instrument a polyphonic series of single sine waves... I think I did that once too, I forget...) Like how rock bands used to play speech backwards. It's fun to encode messages using whatever methods current technology allows at the time. I think I'd be more concerned about people listening to Gwarek2 for enjoyment. :) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide ZoeB's signature Hide all signatures http://www.zoeblade.com On 5/13/2015 at 9:59 PM, rekosn said: zoe is a total afx scholar Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/76031-does-this-look-like-text-to-anyone/#findComment-1889153 Share on other sites More sharing options...
