"Aphex Twin Makes Wired, CNN Posted Friday, May 10, 2002 by joyrex I have gotten various emails about the 'hidden face' in Windowlicker appearing in Wired online and also on CNN. We've known about this for some time, and the major news agencies are just now getting a whiff of it - they should have checked joyrex.com! ;O] Wait until they find out there's a hidden flower image in Kesson Daslef!"
flower? beingsarcastic?

Why doesn't someone take all the songs mentioned here, and save the pix? That way I could see them! LOL

The flower is kesson daslef. That's done by a pitch analyzation of each tone. If you place all of the various pictures together into the closest square you get a grayscale flower.

I thought the flower one was a little dubious...
The guy basically had to write a bit of software to do the analysis (i.e. it's not like Windowlicker where you can view it with a WinAmp plugin..)...I doubt rdj put that "image" in there deliberatly (but I must admit it does tell us something about that particular track...)
Oh yeah...the only reason WIRED/CNN etc have picked up on this is that it's a "in the wild" version of stenography....something that was mentioned during 911 as a possible way for terrorists to communicate...
Hence the new found post-911 media interest...

you´re right jand, i passed Kesson Daslef several times through a spectogram, with different settings and all, and didn´t see a flower. Besides, if you pass richard´s face through the same program with a logarithmic function....well, that´s a different story.
i´m going to scann drukqs completely now, see if i can find something.

check the guys webpage (think it's linked either at Joyrex, Wired or here) to see what he had to do to get the "flower"...
I kinda guess what he's done does tell us something about the track but I really don't feel it's an image that rdj deliberatly put into the track.... but check the page out for full details; it's interesting he gets the result he does; it kinda suggest that there might have been some sort of algrohymic process to the track....
