LFOs Manipulating Waveform Generators-017.wav

Macro: Short loops and medium loops of experimental electronic music/sound/noise.

Meso: Short to medium-length loops generated by LFO (low frequency oscillators) and VCO (voltage controlled oscillators) and Waveshapers (similar to, or a type of, VCO).

Objective Micro: Swaying to and fro a single high pitched note takes on a lower tone as a low pass filter sweeps across it, then, revealing it's high pitched sound once more, the filter sweeps away.

Subjective Micro: Here, in this clawfoot tub, on the mineral oil sea on this confounding fever dream of a planet, a single lone and rusted robot plays a broken harmonic and whistle at the same time while sitting on a scrap-metal raft. The solitary mechanism stares at us. Never breaking gaze. Just playing the harmonica whistle, just ushering in the dark clouds culminating in front of us and to our left. I think oblivion is coming.

Technical:
• DAW: VCV Rack v.1.1.6
• Elements used: Various LFOs, VCOs, and Waveshapers
• Method: LFOs were set at different rates/frequencies and then were mapped onto the controls of various VCOs and Waveshapers. Some LFOs used, such as the Range LFO by RJModules, allow one to specify the voltage output to a certain range as well as being able to decide wave shape, such as Sine, Sawtooth, Triangle, and Square. Using a number of these LFOs, both individually and some chained to one another, I was able to control other LFOs and VCOs. This sometimes resulted in complex wave forms and sometimes simple wave forms.
