Moire(disquiet0410) by K Joule published on 2019-11-08T19:27:15Z Moire effect in sound - In this experiment, I tried to demonstrate a Moire effect in sound. The Moire effect is typically associated with 2 or more overlapping patterns which are similar so that when moved across each other, they produce recurring patterns different from any of the original patterns. For the Moire effect in sound, I used Supercollider to play a progression of 4 chords comprised of 4, 5 or 6 notes which are "strummed", the time between notes within the chords is the same throughout the piece. I programmed the algorithm to play all 4 chords in a repeated cycle - they start out as 4 almost completely overlapping "strums" and then slowly, with each loop the chords are dragged apart from each other by increasing the interval between the start of each chord. As this occurs, the chords slowly become offset from each other allowing individual notes from the different chords to fill in the gaps, like overlapping combs. This creates new patterns as the chords progressively become separated from one another until the individual chords are completely resolved. I programmed the notes to sound like a classical nylon guitar. Genre Electronic Comment by Nate Trier wow! this is great! Very clever execution and very compelling results! 2019-11-15T22:48:55Z Comment by how the night came Fabulous piece. As soon as it finished, I came back for a another listen. This sounds like a philosopher thinking about infinity. 2019-11-13T08:26:36Z Comment by Candle Nine Oh that's incredible 2019-11-10T20:04:09Z
