This technique allows [[electronic music]] artists to "hide" images in their music. Examples include:
* [[Aphex Twin]] hid an image of himself in a spectrogram (using MetaSynth). The image can be found on Track 2 of the ''[[Windowlicker]]'' EP as a nine-second sweeping section right at the end. (It is recognizable in an [[MP3]], but the compression changes the spectrogram and it is not as clear as from the CD.) Aphex Twin also hid the image of a spiral shape in his first track from the "[[Windowlicker]]" EP.
* The song "Look" from [[Venetian Snares]]' album ''[[Songs About My Cats]]'', contains several images of his cats.
* The song "3recurring" from [[Plaid]] on their album ''[[Rest Proof Clockwork]]'' contains the recurring 3s represented as a logo on the cover of the "Not for Threes" album.
* A potentially leaked MP3 version of "My Violent Heart" from the upcoming [[Nine Inch Nails]] album ''[[Year Zero (album)|Year Zero]]'' contains a few brief moments of static at the end, which when analyzed in a spectrogram, reveals the image of a hand reaching down from the sky. This image echoes a similar theme seen throughout the [[viral marketing]] campaign launched for the album. Another new Nine Inch Nails track from Year Zero (April 17th) has been found on a flash drive in a bathroom stall on their current European tour. This time it's "Me, I'm Not." Along with the song, was an
Some modern music is also created using spectrograms as an intermediate medium; changing the intensity of different frequencies over time, or even creating new ones, by drawing them and then inverse transforming.
