Tonecycle Base 30 Hz, 2:3:7 consists of the linear superposition of 77 sine wave frequencies based on the invariant harmonic ratios 2, 3 and 7. Each of the sine wave frequency components gradually separates from each of the other components over time while ascending at slightly different rates of speed, and then descending toward the starting frequencies, infinitely revolving as in circles. These extremely close frequencies and their harmonics constantly produce beat cycles that traverse through a continuum of phase angles. The motion of the tones is extremely slow and therefore, the sense of the pitch shift practically imperceptible. However, because the tones are moving in constant speed toward the same direction and the relationship of corresponding frequencies remains relativistically invariant, it creates the aural illusion that the frequencies of tones remain unchanged. Rather, the interactions of the moving sine waves create the gradual development of distinctive melodic and rhythmic patterns over time as the result of the acoustical phenomenon of phase interference.
