Thanks for the reminder of eeggs.com! It still has an Easter egg I found in my printer that I submitted 25 years ago. I wonder how many models of obsolete hardware that site documents...
And Benn encoded a bird into birdsong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCQCP-5g5bo
And Disasterpeace encoded a puzzle in the Fez soundtrack: https://blog.krzyhau.pl/fez-spectrograms-adventure (and nobody has solved it in over a decade!)

Also, C418 put a creeper face in Minecraft's soundtrack.

It shouldn't be surprising to see people who know Venetian Snares on here!

If you're up for it, trade a music rec?

Try:

I found Venetian Snares last year and one of their songs made my year-in-review: https://wonger.dev/posts/2025#music

Certain Indian music and metal seems to scratch a similar itch for me. And of course orchestra and drum n bass.

huh that's some pretty decent gothy noises
it's worth noting that the parent commenter's link includes a good render of this easter egg in the article as well (it's the last one on the page)
