Description/Abstract: | The apparatus highlights the possibilities of creating graphic form (Hoehn 2008) using Generative Theory combined with the maths and physics of beat tones - a phenomena that reveals itself acoustically between two sounds of slightly different frequencies (Truax 1999). Beat tones are often used by musicians as a means of testing tuning at simple harmonic intervals, in this project the beauty of these waves are examined as graphic form. The drawings produced are a visual representation of the The possibilities of graphic output using such a system is almost endless as the parameters that are specified by the design of the apparatus enable the user to make iterative changes within a set framework. In this instance the current routine allows for 6 million iterations. |
