@autistme so the spectrogram thing. for context a spectrogram is a visualization of sound that plots amplitude (color) per frequency (y-axis) over time (x-axis). for a normal spectrogram the color is like a gradient sorta thing. heatmap like? but really that’s just one color mapping, and you can map them however you want. anyways. The Core Idea: triple spectrogram of the separate bass & guitar stems of songs (from circa songs for the moment just because I have access to them. lmao). and the method of combining them is mapping them into the r, g, and b channels of an image!! using python (numpy and matplotlib)

this above example is some 40-60 seconds around the breakdown in Child of the Desert. colorwise: Colin guitar in red, Nick bass in green, and Brendan guitar in blue. you can see nick’s got a bass slide in the middle but otherwise it’s kinda remarkably The Same looking here … maybe not the greatest example but check out the bass slide. then listen to child of the desert and listen for the bass slide in the breakdown (like 20 seconds into it?)

i have plenty more examples and can probably explain more if you (or anyone else) is interested in hearing abt it :3 also very much a work in progress lmao for example those scales are image pixels …? not related to time or frequency bc i haven’t bothered to figure out how to replace axes numberings yet <3

Genloss Logo

chatting about the logos because there are so many

these are the main 5 types of logos that are shown and labled on twt + the logo for the genloss website (fun fact: the website logo was drawn with a brush made OF the logo) #1 and #4 being the most used currently with #4 being the pfp for the Genloss twt and the Genloss YT channel but #1 being well associated with TSE through TSE promo and media you can find the #1 logo if you dig a bit and if you want to know about hidden logos we got hidden logos here's the spectrograms

Track 1: Generation Loss title Card (long)

Track 2: Showfall media

Track 10: Hetch

Close up for track 10 ^

Track 16: Generation Loss title card (short)

Track 24: Live or Die

Track 25: The holding Portal

track 25 close up ^ All of these examples are from the official soundtrack, and is also part of the reason I don't make spectrograms for the Youtube videos since most of the time the logo is there due to it being part of the music. Huge thank you to Nathan Hanover who made the soundtrack for being so active on the genloss discord, for throwing bricks at the genlosers, answering our questions at 2am, and for confirming that he sampled the among us stinger for Track 23: The button.

yup anyway im posting a part two since there are so many more hidden logos

okay i went and put the audio from the new Generation loss video into a spectrogram and while you can definitely see a bit of symbols I don't know what any of it means. Putting this out there for people to see if they can figure it out. Please ignore the windows watermark in the corner, I have no money.

minecraft.wmv spectrogram!

I was making a rough transcript of the video when I realized that the staticky noise might be a spectrogram! (I've also got the audio! I had to convert it to an mp3) After running it through a spectrogram converter I managed to get this. If anyone can help me read the text let me know.

Some spectrogram fun! I like singing "She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain" in a particular way, one with glottal stops in the word "mountain" so it's pronounced like so: [mɑ͡ʊʔn̩]. I really accentuate that glottal stop because I love singing with emphatic stop consonants. It just satisfies me.

The spectrogram is gorgeous. Here's the last part of the song, "she'll be coming round the mountain, she'll be coming round the mountain, she'll be coming round the mountain when she comes." All those really wide gaps preceded by increased amplitude? Glottal stop!

Since the phrase repeats three times it's really easy to see what's going on. The first repetition has different frequencies than the second and third, in which I sang the same notes, which is really obvious on the waveform even though the waveform depicts the complex wave!
