Car audio nerding tangential to previous toots: The rotational value in Hz of a combustion engine ofc corresponds to audible harmonic series. These are well visible in visual metering like spectrograms.

The harmonic series follow cylinder count. So a 4-cylinder car often has the strongest harmonic sitting at multiples of 4, etc. This same car idling at 7 Hz, could have strongest harmonic between 8-16* (56-112 Hz), depending on the exhaust pipe config.

The other day I posted a link to some of my writing aimed at beginning synthesists. Today, how about a link to some stuff for more advanced synthsters? Here's a post I wrote about one of my favorite sound design techniques: pinging filters!

🎥 **Coming soon — a 3-part Reels series.**
And for the first time — I’m not alone.
This is a **collab**.
Me + her.
AI + music.
Bunker + rhythm.
Introducing: a **female DJ** whose energy sounds like concrete breathing in bass.
We merged my visuals with her sound
to craft a 3-act story — in beats and cinematic frames.
🔜 Dropping soon on Instagram and TikTok.
Back-to-back releases.
Each shot — a slice of an alternate reality.
Stay tuned.
It’ll be bold.
It’ll be loud.
It’ll be a *mood to build with.*
— **GaVART**

Release: Wings of Vengeance
(ein Track vom Konzeptalbum "Phoenix")

Ursprünglich sollte es ein actionreiches Lied werden; es wurde etwas ganz anderes: ein kleines Hörspiel. Nichts für schwache Nerven.

Die nächsten Lieder auf dem Album werden dann wieder mehr Musik enthalten 😄

A new documentary, "Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore" traces the career of the Oscar-winning actor, activist and author. Director Shoshannah Stern knew it was important for hearing audiences to understand how Matlin experiences the world — both Stern and Matlin are Deaf. @IndieWire talked to her and sound designer Bonnie Wild about how they achieved that. “Noise and sound are two different things. Sound is the process where there’s understanding of meaning, [while with] noise, there’s no meaning embedded in that. So when I use hearing aids, and Marlee uses hearing aids as well, I hear most things, right? But if I were to compare if it’s sound or noise, they become jumbled,” Stern explains. “People think that [hearing aids] fix the hearing loss, but it doesn’t fix the way the brain receives that information. So the brain still can’t quite process some of the sound that it’s receiving.”

I'm going to do another SuperCollider livestream tonight. Maybe continuing the sound design from last time, maybe following some curiosities I wrote down somewhere, maybe practicing livecoding.

Because I want to spend some leisurely time outside after sitting at my desk for too long, I will push the time to 21:00-ish CEST. (That's 19:00 UTC, 3 PM EDT, noon PDT).

As usual, I'll stream on my Twitch channel: twitch.tv/the_emergent

Twitchthe_emergent - TwitchSinger, songwriter, composer. Makes electronic & experimental music with SuperCollider & other Open Source software.

If you'd like to get the #remix treatment, it's winter and I'm in the lab and offering donate what you can commissions for remix, sound assets, #soundtrack, sound beds, loops, etc etc.

Dark and dirty is my wheelhouse but very happy and able to flex sound for friendly projects.

Enjoy dark sample pack volumes or you might like to share some oontz or horror soundtracks with the neighbours

• Sound designer Eddie Gandelman on composing a future that allows us to hear ourselves think

As our everyday, human-made products compete to be the most earsplitting, he's trading in the jarring overload for spatial reverb, wood tapping, and bird song.

"When we’re designing sounds, we’re accessing a channel that is direct to the human brain. My opinion is that a better-sounding world is a quieter and more natural-sounding world."
