About this video

Planets is a track from the audiovisual album Oscilloscope Music, in which the audio signal drives an analog oscilloscope directly. The left channel sets horizontal deflection and the right sets vertical, so the sound draws vector graphics.

Why it appears in the archive

HN cites it as the example of oscilloscope music, where the song itself is the visual, in XY mode.
