Jerobeam Fenderson - Blocks

Track 3 of the audiovisual album Oscilloscope Music
available at oscilloscopemusic.com
What you see is what you hear: The audio signal is fed directly into the oscilloscope, where vector graphics are drawn with sound.
Filmed from an analog Tektronix 5103N scope.
left audio channel: horizontal deflection
right audio channel: vertical deflection
This track was made entirely with OsciStudio: asdfg.me/oscistudio

+Kanneh TheGreat Yeah, if you have some audio playing thing hooked up to an oscilloscope that played different sounds with the push of different buttons. Only problem is, it would cost like a few hundred dollars.

imma play gravedigger here: yes and you can try it for yourself with a software oscilloscope that sakes your soundcard as input. there are free ones, though the samplerates of a soundcard are really bad compared to even the cheaper oscilloscopes so the picture wont be as clear as the one shown which was filmed on an old analogue oszi...
