Tektronix Oscilloscope Music

Ғылым және технология

I recently picked up a vintage Tektronix 603 X-Y monitor. Time to draw nice pictures with sound to showcase it! And when the Tek is paired with music from talented Austria-based artist (not Dutch as I mistakenly say in the video) Jerobeam Fenderson, it becomes truly spectacular.
Music files can be obtained from:
oscilloscopemusic.com/
The track played in the video at 8:53 is "Shrooms".
Here are some videos of Hansi and Jerobeam (Chris) showing some of the behind the scenes "making of":

    That's because sirens are designed with music theory concepts in mind, even the oldfashioned rotor ones. The rotors had specfic mathematical numbers of rotors on each of the two spinners to do this. Sirens are designed to create extremely dissonant, out of tune chords between two notes. This is disturbing and generally creepy to the human ear, and this is on purpose. Honestly the old rotor sirens do a better job of it in almost all cases. Except the Chicago tornado sirens I swear they are more terrifying than the event itself.

    yes, we do a lot of scoping together. but in this case it's completely jerobeams work. (there's also no osci studio used for the space scene at 13:11 , it's all done in max/pd ). a lot of it is really hard to credit actually, because everything exists already and it's just a matter of piecing it together differently. e.g. here's the butterfly: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_curve_(transcendental) and here are 3d projections: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection .

    Also some nice phasing and binaural beats. You see what's going on with the change in harmonics. If SETI ever gets "dubstep music" from space, this should be one of the ways it needs to be looked at. Messages purposely sent out are likely to be made fairly obvious, and this is one way where not too much math is needed for the icons and pictograms to be right there.
