You told me you can't live alone
Well, you ain't got choices
You told me you can't breed alone
Well, you ain't got choices

This is not a test,
This is not a drill,
Contol/Alt/Delete
To reboot the thrill
You got no other choices

Project 2112-d2

Current Assignment:
Disquiet Junto Project 0062: Life of Sine

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.

Source Code:
/*NOTE: I have not bothered to clean this code up after writing it.  Don't take it as a good example ;) */
