I really like the look of the famous album art for Unknown Pleasures [1]. It was originally created by Harold Craft at the Arecibo Observatory from the signals of the first discovered radio pulsar [2].

I made a spectrogram that produces a similar look. It runs FFT in Rust and visualizes it with WebGL.

Really nice work - love the aesthetic. It'd be great to have this as a JS library with support for arbitrary audio inputs.
