Running The SuperCollider Program
The data produces a spectrum that is focused on low frequencies. In order to remove the direct current, a High Pass Filter at 30 Hertz needed to be applied. The resulting sound suggests a sound mass composition. With the granulator running, I have begun experimenting with different alterations to create an interesting composition. Here are some observations and alterations that I have explored.
1. Layering of multiple years giving each a unique playback rate generates a unique evolving mass
2. The adjustment of the Mouse X position seems akin to adjusting the sails to the current conditions, where multidimensional data is being effected by how the boat/trigger rate is positioned.
3. The addition of interpolation between values makes for a more fluid sound.
4. Modulation of the audio file by the control signal produces interesting results.
5. Changing the amount of divisions of the each trigger makes for a more less pointelisitc sound mass.
6. Placing this in an Ambisonic quadraphonic setting is far more interesting than a stereo space.
