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.

I was inspired by @ho's post (nathan.ho.name/posts/dm-synthe) about using digital modulation schemes for sound synthesis

Here, I've turned the binary data from a block of text (lorem ipsum with strings of repeated characters thrown in) into a .WAV file in Rust. In Max/MSP, I'm incrementing through that to modulate the phase of a sine wave and simulate phase-shift keying (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-sh)

Okay, I finally got the cafe sound design to a place where I'm somewhat happy with it. Days of incessant agonizing and endless rounds of self-laceration over ridiculously high artistic standards. Alas, that's part of my process. The dynamic range sounds wonderful on good speakers, although I have also monitored it through shitty earbuds to ensure that the dialogue is clear. I have a dedicated beverage track and that's what really sells this fun immersive experience!

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 found this hardstyle techno-sounding sample in some random computer data!

The Rust tool I recently made (reillyspitzfaden.com/posts/202) to speed this “databending” process up has been helping immensely

Instead of manually finding files that are big enough to be worthwhile, I can just dump a folder into the Rust tool, set a minimum file size, and sort the results by size and quickly preview them
