steganography

Steganography, revisited... Remember back when we all saw a demon in an aphex twins track? Well, an enterprising young fellow has discovered that we had the knobs set all wrong. His results are much more comprehensible. And while he was at it, he points us to a utility that will let you bury images in audio, too.

oh, cool. i've always been one his fans but appreciate his older songs a lot more. analogue bubblebath, surfing on sinewaves.. good shnit! he's one of my favorite artists just because of how *freaking weird* he makes himself look. he's anything but the normal musician :)

And if anyone wants to appreciate Aphex but needs an introduction, start with a copy of Selected Ambient Works 85-92. Great simple trancey stuff; a contrast to the aural technicolor he spits out these days.

whoops. on review of the previous post of this topic, it looks like this new image was known even then.

Never mind.

Still pretty cool. Thanks for the software utils.

Yeah, I didn't catch it the first time, but it's pretty interesting. Thanks!
