What is the song that has a cat's face in the analysis of the music?

I believe it is an IDM song, and I'm not sure what type of analysis is done on the music. All I know is when you look at it as a picture, you can see the face of the guy's cat.

The analysis is called 'spectrum analysis', it's a visualization of the strength of the various frequences (low, mid, high) plotted on a graph in real-time. Only artist I know who's done something similar is Aphex Twin, but it was his face.

On preview, there's your answer.
