These are certainly very pretty, but I can’t help but feel that the usual visualisations are much more information-dense and helpful [0] [1]. Spectrograms and vowel diagrams let me instantly see the formants of a vowel, allowing me to compare them to surrounding sounds and understand how they’re made in the mouth. By contrast, I can’t quite understand how to identify any resonant frequencies in this visualisation; the bands which are so obvious in spectrograms are difficult if not entirely impossible to find here. It would be very interesting to see if this visualisation could be modified to make this more prominent.

(They really are very pretty, though!)
