I absolutely love the way the slightly off-kilter horizontals in the pentagrams match the tonal shift.

I mean "duh" but it really adds to the effect for me.

Makes me wonder how many undiscovered embedded pictures there are. Quick search gives me this - I only knew about the AFX face and the Cat.

not a "duh", I hadn't noticed that! Yeah I guess that's the most obvious glissando-like bit, because it's the most gradual, and the others kinda oppose each other in frequency space while drawing the pentagram borders, one sweeping up, while the other, down, but kinda symmetric in time. I kinda wanna load it up, but my DAW is DONE :(

It's putting a black and white image into a reverse-Fourier signal added on top of the mix. Sounds like white noise, some of it, I think. What's truly weird is that we like noise in our mixes a lot of the time.

This is just worshipping satan so hard right now. Of course we use maths to do it
