about

In quite shocking news De Selby goes 'intelligent' and 'academic'. I'd been messing around with doing some stuff with pure sine waves. A few days later I was reading a nice Stockhausen retrospective in an art magazine. As a side note, why on earth did his passing go almost unnoticed? I'm not sure what's worse, the media not really caring about him or the media shunning him for a single comment made about 9-11. It's hardly surprising that declaring 9-11 to be "the greatest work of art that is possible in the whole cosmos" raised some hackles. Expressing an opinion deemed politically incorrect shouldn't mean a man's lifetime of iconoclastic work should just be completely ignored. I'll stop there before i begin to rant!
Anyway, it mentioned his interest in adding sine waves together and the number 7. Coincidently my audiomulch sine wave creation just happened to use 7 sine waves. A good excuse as any to play with the idea further. It also coinciding with a re-reading of Robert Anton Wilson's thoughts on the 'Law of Fives'. Seven sine waves with a gap of 5hz between them. Spooky.
Some of the results of these experiments were then pitch shifted up or down by 7 steps and layered in multiples of 5.
The results were all quite pleasing to me. Hope you like them too.
Sine waves, maths, Stockhausen, Robert Anton Wilson. I'll admit, it's quite pretentious. Watch out for my 5 CD box set on Raster Noton and my interview in the Wire coming soon!!
