They give away how to make something that sounds good while drawing the thing you want while manipulating the T-Rex - you can adjust the ratio of vertical-to-horizontal passes while still making effectively the same drawing. I listened to this with very big heavy headphones and the squarewave sounds have raised my energy level in a way I wasn't prepared for before bed but I'm just very excited for this entire concept.

I learned about the existence of this earlier (for instance Techmoan had a video devoted to this) but didn't know how it was made. Very, very interesting video. thanks for posting!
