Jerobeam Fenderson - Deconstruct

Track 9 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
software used: OsciStudio & blender (3D objects, effects), Processing (gravity simulation), Max MSP (effects), Ableton Live

[@andrewkennett940]

Now im going to go through the rest of my life trying to picture what sounds look like in my head

[@1e1001]

like 90% of sounds look like noise sorry :(

[@umbree6407]

i suggest using the left ear as a X cord on a 2d plane and the right ear on a y plane thats how oscillascopes work via sounds/music

@@AlfiesFuntime wiggly noodles brakedancing.

[@dogboss4269]

most of it looks like fuzz. this is special because is very certain noise but changing so much it sounds like music

Now this is true art. I need to convince my electronics instructor to grant me permission to use the lab oscilloscopes for these!

[@dylang2256]

make sure they're on x y mode

[@timdorohin]

And make sure that your DAC really can into 192k (FFFFuuuuuucking 20k lowpass filter on realteks)

Did you convince him?

[@kydatyvegrybatokeanvisoko2420]

Guess we'll never know

[@syv6173]

is there a way i can use software that acts as an osciloscope?

[@MollariB5]

Oh dear. I've only just discovered Oscilloscope music in the last couple of hours after being out of the electronics game for 20 odd years. After recently 'acquiring' a Tektronix 465 the poor thing won't know what's hit it tomorrow.

we need to send these sounds into space. If any alien life would be able to pick these up, they would know for sure that these sounds are not natural

[@jhoughjr1]

that is a human brain that thinks that. If we mapped a lot of the spectrum into audible we could find stufff like this.

[@laupoke]

pretty sure like ariana grande or whatever would work better

Soo clever! We should be streaming every single one of these into a high power transmitter into space! :D So simple yet so clever how beats and visuals are hand-in-hand

[@elijahlucian]

dude.. shhh.

[@jayc2469]

***** Some definitions for you :) *Clever:* _Skilled at doing or achieving something; talented; Quick to understand, learn, and devise or apply ideas; intelligent_ The uploader/programmer is exceptionally *clever* for creating this. *Simple:* (in the context it was used): _Plain, basic, or uncomplicated in form, nature, or design; without much decoration or ornamentation;_ or in this instance, the modulated x/y (L/R Audio) is perfectly combined, resulting in a very 2 audio channels modulated into *one* (visual) signal that perfectly represents some quite complex computer generated vectors No need to feel butt-hurt, because I'm actually praising the uploader

[@thomasjrusso9280]

As an engineer it's my life's ambition to be simple and clever in a world where there's so much complicated stupid. @Theo: stay classy bro.

[@HERBSMAN441]

Your mother must be so proud

[@StranaHyena]

Theo, I just reported your ass.

[@mechanought3495]

This is incredibly cool and interesting. Most of this is very clever phase modulation with pitch essentially only acting as frames per second right? An oscilloscope only draws the compression and rarefaction as fast as the frequency, which is pitch right? In order to get these advanced shapes you're having to modify waveforms in interesting ways. The resulting sound is quite stunning. You're onto something here.

[@scowell]

The 'scope is in X/Y mode... one axis is Right, one axis is Left. On his channel he explains how he does it.

[@barbaramorgan603]

This is what our ears see

[@OrangeeTang]

Watching this makes me think you may peering behind the universe's curtain. Thank you for the time you've spent experimenting with this mind blowing discovery. I feel I've had a weekend of tripping balls and going deaf watching these awesome videos, but in seriousness it's been a mind opening experience.

[@mrdrgonzo]

Find these videos amazing, seriously impressed! Wish I could stick my head inside them with an oculus!

[@BigNCountry]

Damn. I wish this stuff existed back in 2000. My grandfather had an oscilloscope in the basement but I never thought it could be used for stuff like this.

[@inphact]

I am absolutely mesmerized by this... fantastic amazing work...

[@EdibleRockingChair]

[@newbert9287]

I keep on finding myself back to this one video time, and time again. Ive listened to a bunch of jerobeam's stuff, but this is special to me. The way this neon green imagery pulsates and flows with with harsh, mechanical, and sychidelic synthesized "music" is like mental white noise to me. I can just turn off my brain and experience pure nonsense.

[@gwenlyre8897]

???: what kind of music do you listen to? Me: it's complicated.
