Oscilloscope Music - Function

First track of the upcoming NEW EP - preorder & info 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. Try it yourself! (works best with lossless audio files at high sampling rate)
left channel = x-axis
right channel = y-axis
Filmed from a Leader LBO-51MA analog oscilloscope.
produced by Jerobeam Fenderson & Hansi3D
OsciStudio software by Hansi3D: oscilloscopemusic.com/softwar...
LIVE: We are looking to play our new live show with lasers starting around october 2023. Booking via [e-mail]

The best techno music genre ever made ❤

[@prodr0xxthefirst267]

Every since finding this channel I have been fascinated by this genre of art. I feel like the music and the visuals produced by said music are indescribable in terms of the real world. I remember being young at school and tasked to draw what I thought the music was doing as we listened and I could never have imagined this is what is possible given the right frequencies and order of said frequencies.

[@devoreco9328]

I just recently learned about the Hilbert Curve. Seeing a springy ball jump on it like it's a 3D plane really messed with my head, totally convincing me it's was 3D. Amazing once again! Totally worth the wait!

We making it out of Trigonometry with this one

[@AsterEzell]

Man, watching the ball form felt kinda like an A.I with child-like wonder forming an idea and then slowly advancing it to it's best possible form. It's a hard feeling to explain, and kinda sounds cliche or lame but regardless it felt very unique. Can't wait to see more.

[@TheOobo]

That's a really evocative idea, I love it

[@VirtualRiot]

Still blown away since the day the mushroom video went online. My nerd brain really needed this today thank you. I’m Tempted to remix this. Would you be ok if I made a remix of it and used part of your video as visuals?

[@devjock]

Listen man, my jaw is on the floor with every video you upload, that much is obvious. The amount of oneupmanship against yourself is inspiring. You just pile on awesome every new scene. Building and building that experience until everyone's mind is blown. Loved the meta of the carthesian axes, awesome callbacks to your previous video's with the springo's and the bouncing balls, amazing work on that hilbert curve, and my mind was absolutely blown when that curve got bent into a sphere. When people say "audiovisual experience" there's only one person I think of, and it's you! Here's the thing; This wasn't what I wanted to comment initially. First and foremost, you uploading video's makes me happy not only because I get to get my mind blown, but also because it's a confirmation that you're alive, and receptive to commentary. You deserve credit and appreciation for your work. I'm happy you're alive. That's the most important thing.

Thats really 4D Chess.. not only are the soundwaves directly generating the image but the image is also visualising the composition directly. The animation is also really good, especially the bouncing ball. Sound design is amazing. Einfach nur gut!

[@nonsensicalhumanoid]

This is an insane concept (in the best way possible). There's something almost mesmerizing about watching a video that is simultaneously the music you're hearing.

[@kos256]

2:29 Ah sneaky! You smuggled in a sequencer to a function generator. 3:10 THE BELOVED SPIRAL IS BACK!! Oscilloscope music is like a story, it introduces elements then repeats them together in sync. 3:58 Spiral's saying hi! 4:55 It's now bouncing on a fractal! 5:18 The erosion from circles!! It's all coming back! 7:01 IT WAS A FRACTAL ALL ALONG

[@oxar050]

This has to be some of the most impressive audio engineering I've ever seen in my life. It's good music with good visuals, but that's only the start of it. The 3d imaging, the movement, and that all with the sound itself. Crazy. Mad respect, hope you keep doing this.

[@waituntil]

This made me enjoy music again Also the ball is the cutest thing I have had the pleasure to witness in a *long* time

[@namAehT]

I loved how the previous album sort of "taught" how the different visuals create different sounds and showcased increasing complexity. Seeing you do it again in this video (simple lines graduating to more and more complexity) makes me excited as hell for what's to come.

[@nethe1096]

Man the math behind this must be amazing. I bet a math teacher would be drooling seeing the genius math you made

[@Ternuj]

As a researcher into brain waves and oscillations, dealing with time-frequency data - THANK YOU.

[@amberkatanimations6585]

I think that this music genre is possibly the smallest and most unique genre of music, if it's even a genre. However, it still manages to express, and maybe even entertain more than some other, more popular songs. The visuals are also very encapsulating, and I do feel that Jerobeam has improved since their first few oscilloscope software demos!

I cannot even begin to conceptualize how a bunch of waves overlapped on each other could possibly look like all these cool shapes on an oscilloscope, let alone how they managed to sound like absolute ear candy. To say I am lost for words is an understatement.

It's incredible how much smoother the animations have gotten over time. I've been following this since the beginning, and it used to be that the drum beats used to cause a lot of visual distortions and you could see the changes in the music more clearly, but now the music and the visuals almost exist independently.
