Jerobeam Fenderson - Nuclear Black Noise (oscilloscope / lissajous music)

oscilloscopemusic.com
7" Vinyl: www.ordia-muszc.com/releases/o...
This track is part of Nuclear White Noise • Nuclear Black Noise, a composition for continuous or discrete frequency spectra.
AUDIO
In this part only sine waves (discrete frequencies) were used. Using the harmonic series, i.e. integral multiples of the fundamental frequency, an unlimited variety of sound spectra can be created (additive synthesis). To produce these waveforms the open-source audio programming software Pure Data was used.
VIDEO
What you see is what you hear. Left/right channels cause vertical/horizontal deflection on an oscilloscope, which was filmed for this video clip. Each frequency's phasing differs between both channels, so that the waveforms look different on each, whereby complex interference patterns and shapes can be created (lissajous figures).

is this how a circle can be turned inside out?

trig identities and trig functions. You can use polar coordinate functions like rose curves or other such ones and convert it to the xy plane

trig what?

tfw u tear or crease it

Plugged the audio from this into my oscilloscope. No regrets.

[@real1rube]

As did I (after your suggestion) and mind was blown all over again.

[@gildor24]

Plugged it in, and now I can't stop looking at what all my other music looks like on the scope. there goes my night.

[@Slferon]

what it sounds like, WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE OH DAMN ITS 4 YEARS AGO IM LATE

Can you just plug the audio from this into a single channel on the oscilloscope by stripping headphone wires?

[@iwtommo]

Its cool how you can make these patterns and still have it sound like music. I was expecting a real nasty sinewave cringe-fest just to get the images but it seems you can have both cool noise and cool visuals at the same time. No idea how you got that to work, ha. Hats off sir.

[@TlalocTemporal]

Yeah, the trick here is usually that one ear gets the horizontal movement as sound, while the other gets the vertical movement.

[@masonhunter2748]

The real challenge is making the sound make images

[@MotesTV]

What OP is saying is that he can imagine an algorithm to draw pictures using sound, but making those pictures have rhythm and harmony and not be screeching and unintelligible actually takes art.

[@RandomSime]

Well that certainly got and kept my cat's attention for the duration of the clip. Amazing!

Some portal 2 Soundtracks make some interesting oscilloscope patterns even if just for a bit, songs like Acres of Broken Glass, Adrenal Vapor, Hard Sunshine and Triple Laser Phase do something like that.

Ok but imagine this at 1am on an 80s hifi stack with an oscilloscope out of your mind on LSD. I feel like id be there for hours just watching the VU meters. This stuff is insane

[@kleetus92]

I'm not one to suggest the use of drugs but if LSD lets you see sounds, this is what I would imagine... LOL!

[@EzeePosseTV]

You are not far wrong there. Just add multi colours and speed-trails to the visuals and your sorted.

I've heard of people having similar reactions to VR. Something about you brain relearning stimuli hits differently than other knowledge.

Wow! This is cool. I did something similar before (PF 2013 on 1973 oscilloscope), but this is much better, as the picture really represents the music. My audio signals were very "non-musical". Great job!

[@simoninkin9090]

Maaan, something's deffo up with these fractals! Science just hasn't yet gotten to them properly. Stuff at 0:20 and some other bits here and in other files resemble so much of DMT (oh, dat sound, and dat movement!), buddhist mandalas, flowers and nature in general, it's simply amazing!

[@asperg8735]

I used to listen to the Aphex Twins's music. There was alwayse something trippy about it. It felt like the sound was 3D or something.

[@charleshart1986]

I thought i had all your tracks already. Just received your LP the other day thanks!

[@bukster1]

I had to do a radio telecommunications course in the 80's where we studied these types of waveforms. I passed the course, but only just. The subject is quite complex when you have to analyse it to that level.

[@portalpat42]

The audio-visual experience is unlike anything I've ever seen/heard, ever. It's entrancing, almost like mind control. Very cool.

[@slehar]

Wow! Mega-awesome! At many levels! Thanks!

[@notsure1232]

Very much appreciate your work in this amazing way to visualize waveforms! Some patterns reminded me of the designs from ancient artifacts…would be great to see how the famous “flower of life” pattern among many others sounds as well!

This is the evolution of a certain alien being time to time,so I may edit it sometimes. 00:00 to 00:13 is when the creature starts out simple, also taking millions of years to evolve. 00:14 to 00:24 is when the creature starts getting complex, having more cells in it. 00:25 to 00:30 is when the creature starts having a habit as it gets bigger. Then at 00:31 to 00:41 is when the creature starts to malfunction, making the habit more powerful so it’s evolution gets Quicker. 00:42 to 00:55makes loops, making the dygestive system even bigger. 00:56 to 01:03 is when a tune starts forming and now it’s evolution happens hour by hour. 01:04 to 01:18 is when the tune starts forming more and more! Making evolution happen minute by minute! 01:19 to 01:40 is when the molecules start catching onto the tune,making it happen second by second! 01:41to 01:55 is when the molecules start to dance, inventing the dance, cool changer. 01:56 to 2:15 is when the dance moves get more rapidly exiting, leaving some too exited. Nothing exiting happens between 2:16 to 2:28. 2:29 to 2:36 is when the creature starts a new habit to stop this Dom happening,by connecting one part to the other. 2:37 to 2:50 is when the habit gets more out of control than the last one while the molecules start dancing more and more. 2:51 to 3:16 is when the creature starts going smaller and smaller, making the sound more faint. 3:17 to 3:37 is when the creature starts to explode. 3:38 to 3:42 is when the creature explodes so when the music stopped, the molecules froze and for years, they have been trying to get the music back. THE END!
