Previously released as part of Disquiet Junto Project [disquiet0062-lifeofsine]

This week’s project involves making music from the basic building block of sound: the sine wave.

You will compose and record a piece of music using just three different sine waves, and nothing else — well, nothing else in terms of source material, but the waves can, after the piece has gotten underway, be transformed by any means you choose.

These are the steps:

Step 1: Devise which three sine waves you will employ. They should be different from each other in some evident way.

Step 2: The track should open with just one of the sine waves.

Step 3: Add the second sine wave at 5 seconds.

Step 4: Add the third sine wave at 10 seconds.

Step 4: Only at 15 seconds should you begin to in any way manipulate any of the source waves.

Frequencies Used: 125Hz, 237Hz, 1012Hz

My Process:
Coding up something quickly in Supercollider on lunch break and did final adjustments at home. I decided to see how much I could get out of the sound of just the three sines without any effects. The click is created by purposely cutting the waveform at non-zero crossings. Every other sound is made from adding or multiplying the three sines.
