The term "hyperloop" gave me an idea to use oscillators that were slowly drifting between a randomized set of intervals but always returning to the same fundamental pitch. After trying several options in Max, I settled on sawtooth waves that drifted between quarter-tone intervals with the maximum no more than a minor third.

I needed numbers for the various timing mechanisms in the patch, so I googled the term "hyperloop numbers" and it lead me to the following page: http://mashable.com/2013/08/13/hyperloop-elon-musk-numbers/

This provided me with several numbers used in setting the durations between events in my Max patch, although I did multiply by 10 or combine digits in some cases.

I also felt I needed a bit more bass, so I modified the patch to produce a sine tone two octaves lower than the original sawtooth waves.

Individual layers were recorded and then imported into Logic Pro, where I added a bit of automation to the volume of each layer, as well as some overall EQ and reverb.

***Disquiet Junto Project 0086: Hyperloop***

This week’s project may have the simplest, and broadest, instruction in all of the 86 consecutive weeks that the Disquiet Junto has been running. Thanks to the musician Cinchel of Chicago, Illinois, for helping to prompt this idea. The project has just one instruction:
