Spectral Séance

A sound dreams a picture — then the picture becomes the next instrument you hear. A closed loop where the return trip is literal: the dreamed image is played back column-by-column as a spectrogram.

An inharmonic drone listens to itself, dreams an austere data-image, then plays that image back as sound — each column a moment, each row a pitch — while a cyan line sweeps across it. The loop closes and runs on its own. It starts in a moment; press Begin to unlock audio now.
