    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.

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

      Along the same lines, these crazy fools are making oscilloscope music, where the song itself is the visual. this video

      Your description immediately made me think of oscilloscope music, in which an image is made with 2 audio channels being shown on an oscilloscope: this video

      Oscilloscope music. The idea is that you display the left and right channels on an oscilloscope in XY mode. this video
