Generated Wave File

Description

For this project, I tried to create a pseudo-rhythmic mix using the FFT-based programs to create a composition I title "Data Corrupted." I wanted to evoke a feeling of digital panic, and thus included a random noise generator in the background, as well as varying pulses and rhythms from the FFT programs. I tried to use a number of different generators, sounds, and pitches to create this effect. For the FFT programs, I primarily altered frequency and amplitude using oscillators as well as an FMVoices generator. I edited the final wav files in Audacity to help edit, then plugged them back through ChucK. Enjoy!
