This album blew my mind when Mike Torr (Insides And Outsides) sent me an example of a track before starting mastering his track. I was watching words appear on the spectrograph as the track played. Amazing!!

More about the tracks on this album:
Each of the first fourteen tracks has words but no vocals, while the final track has vocals but no words (it’s just random singing, also known as glossolalia, and has been heavily processed).
The messages are encoded differently in each track. Some use note names, others may be heard by playing the track extremely fast, some employ rhythmic proxies for known systems such as Morse code or semaphore flags, some require special tools to read (a spectrograph or oscilloscope, for example), and some use harmonic or melodic devices.

Steganogram is the fourth album from Insides And Outsides and explores the idea of encoding messages in music.
