Obscure Music makes Spectrogram image of an Alien Face- Communication or Math?

Afex twin & the song equation when played at a specific range produces an aliens face on the Spectrogram monitor appears from playing the song Check it out this is wild, so you would be able communicate like this i wonder how much information could be passed and has anyone checked the other songs?

You mean this goofy looking teenager with bracelets



its easy to convert pictures to sound.. lots of free online programs for that, I guess he just used a picture of himself.

This sort of thing is art. People have been making these for some time now.
Oscilloscope Music

Here you can try and covert some pictures to sound yourself

Come to Daddy

Think backwards... if you can see it with that program, you can likely make it with a similar program.

We used to do similar types of things in the recording studio more than 20 years ago... must be a breeze to do these days.

As this seems to be a hoax, the idea from the OP seems to be interesting. I’m sure others have thought of it before. But puttting images into sound and sending them across space seems like an interesting theory.

I wonder if SETI looks at their sounds they pick up for something like this.

isnt this basically what casini diskus is from forgotten languages, its converting sound into images ! and vice versa
the images on fl when ran through the converter give an audio file !

You can take a picture, convert it line by line using a "Fast Fourier Transform" into a series of frequencies and intensities (what you see on that graph), then convert those back into sound and add it to the music track.

I thought the high pitch ringing was interesting since I have that ringing constantly.

Is there a potential to convert to color and play a movie? or even text in a readable format?

Mathematics is the ultimate form of communication.

A universal language really, period.

No doesnt work that way

You can only convert sound into a series of frequencies and intensities. You might be able to encode different ranges of frequencies into different color channels (10Khz - 20Khz = Red, 20Khz - 30 Khz=Green, 30Khz - 40 Khz =Blue)

If you were to make multiple samples over time, then you can make a movie. Dolphins use repeated sonar clicks to build up a 2D picture equivalent of a CymaScope. Because these clicks are so frequent it's probable that they see motion:

Space is a vacuum....noone can hear you scream ! .......but no really sound does not work in space fyi

Wondering if you've seen these images? These are natural patterns in mathematics, formed with a simple number triangle.

Didn't think of THAT

It's a fractal is it not?

Think I've come across it before.

a reply to: andy06shake

Depends what you mean by fractal, I think!

It certainly looks fractal. But the rendering is discrete in this case and not self-similar (other than the fact the images are symmetrical). I think most fractals are continuous and they come with an equation which explains each point mathematically.

In the case with these images, they are actually pictures of binary numbers themselves, the visual effect does not come from plotting the equation in the same way as a Mandelbrot set, for instance.

These are the numbers 1 to 250 in binary, stacked next to each other, same way as the images above. It does look kinda fractal, but I'm not sure if it fits the definition!
